this is super helpful! #ty!
I'll figure out a way to work in the year argument but perhaps will shunt in a hacky "current" function just to make sure it's aligned correctly with the real world.
In addition to the changes noted by eamoncaddigan, two counties have been renamed and given new FIPS codes since the 2010 census (both in 2015).
# previously: fips 46113 Shannon County, SD
# now: fips 46102 Ogala Lakota County, SD
#
# previously: fips 02270 Wade Hampton Census Area, AK
# now: fips 02158 Kusilvak Census Area, AK
The list of counties returned by
counties_sf
is now out-of-date.See this note, Petersburg, AK needs to have its
lsad
updated, but Bedford, VA needs to be merged.Unfortunately the fixes would make this incompatible with the last decennial census, so I'm not sure what the best move is. I guess a
year
argument to the function call would be the safest, but would require a lot of engineering effort.
