Necessary columns across variables:

Year
County FIPS code (polygons) or lat/lon (points)

To Do:

[ ] Incorporate demographics data
[ ] Incorporate social capital indices
[ ] Rename land use categories

Do we need to identify the county FIPS code for each lat/lon point data so that we have one common identifier? I.e., I don't think as common identifier, we can use this or that. I think we may have talked about this - creating a master list/shapefile of counties to quickly identify where lat/lon points belong.

By interpolating the point data across counties, we can perform a merge or union so that the interpolated data will have a FIPS code, right?
