Spatial Analysis of US Census Data in R

This workshop will introduce participants to tools for spatial data analysis and GIS in R with applied examples using US Census data. Participants will learn how to perform common GIS tasks in R and make both static and interactive maps with Census data. The workshop will cover R’s sf package for spatial data; the tigris and tidycensus packages for Census geographic data; and mapping with tools like ggplot2, Leaflet, and Mapbox. No prior experience with R’s spatial tools is required for this workshop - the only requirement is a curiosity about maps and spatial data!

Thank you for delivering this information. I am just starting out and your layout and delivery is exceptional. My challenge will be to translate how this would work for the UK.

This is really quite epic content! I started my GIS learning in Alteryx, then ESRI ArcGIS, and now R. I can't fathom how much potential this has to simplify many of the top challenges effecting society today. There are not many things that don't benefit from better population insights.

Hi John - great video. Is there a DC version for this code at ward level. dc_tracts <- tracts(state = "DC", ward = "7") is such a function possible since DC doesnt have counties?

That was wonderful. Thank you for sharing such a valuable knowledge.
I have a question : if we want to plot the disease data year wise with single legend then how we can plot ??
Best regards
