Create GEOID from Default Columns

construct_geoid(
  .data,
  area_type,
  state = "state",
  county = "county",
  tract = "tract",
  block_group = "block group",
  block = "block",
  cd = "cd",
  shd = "shd",
  ssd = "ssd",
  zcta = "zcta"
)

Arguments

.data: dataframe, tibble, or sf tibble
area_type: Defaults to creating the smallest possible with 'spine' for states, counties, tracts, block groups, and blocks. You can also pass one of the on spine geographies to create that specific level. Other options are 'shd' for lower state legislative districts, 'ssd' for upper state legislative districts, 'cd' for congressional districts, or 'zcta' for zip code tabulation areas.
state: name of column with state component
county: name of column with county component
tract: name of column with tract component
block_group: name of column with block group component
block: name of column with block component
cd: name of column with cd component
shd: name of column with shd component
ssd: name of column with ssd component
zcta: name of column with zcta component

Value

.data with new column GEOID

Examples

data(mt_county)
mt_county <- mt_county %>% breakdown_geoid()
mt_county <- mt_county %>% dplyr::select(-dplyr::all_of('GEOID'))
mt_county <- mt_county %>% construct_geoid()
