Label ACS Variables to make usable for analysis #7

Closed zseeskin closed 11 years ago

zseeskin commented 11 years ago

I now have a data extract from the Data Ferrett with both census tract and block group level data. Plan is to adapt Nick Mader's Stata code to R and provide useful variable labels and organization.

See Label_ACS_2007_11_Tract_BlockGroup.R in ACS and Census Code folder for code.

Did not use Nick's Stata code (there was only very small overlap in the variables we were using).

Rather, I took the codebook for that dataset and read the variable information as variable names for the dataset.
