The goal of eads is to provide local data users access to both canned
and custom data tables at a variety of Census geographies and
spatial extents. This is a joint project of the SLU
openGIS effort and the St. Louis
Regional Data Alliance.
The development version from GitHub with:
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("slu-openGIS/eads")The stl_get_census() function provides access to both the American
Community Survey (from 2010 onwards) and the 1990, 2000, and 2010
Decennial Census products from the U.S. Census Bureau. For example, we
can obtain counts of the number of vacant housing units for the entire
metro St. Louis area:
> stl_get_census(region = "full metro", level = "county",
+ variable = "H005001", year = 2010,
+ product = "census")

Bridge, the first bridge
erected across the Mississippi River in St. Louis and an iconic landmark
in the region. Like its namesake, eads provides a link between
disparate corners of the region, ensuring we can paint a unified
portrait with data instead of steel.
