title: 'RcensusPkg: Easily Access US Census Bureau Survey and Geographic Data'
version: 0.1.5
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.RcensusPkg
abstract: The key function 'get_vintage_data()' returns a dataframe and is the window
  into the Census Bureau API requiring just a dataset name, vintage(year), and vector
  of variable names for survey estimates/percentages. Other functions assist in searching
  for available datasets, geographies, group/variable concepts of interest. Also provided
  are functions to access and layer (via standard piping) displayable geometries for
  the US, states, counties, blocks/tracts, roads, landmarks, places, and bodies of
  water. Joining survey data with many of the geometry functions is built-in to produce
  choropleth maps.
