Introducing censusr

January 18, 2016/ Guest User

Here at Transport Foundry we regularly use data from the U.S. Census Bureau to validate our input data and our simulation engine outputs. To make this task easier for us, we wrote an R package that downloads data from the U.S. Census Bureau directly into a user's R environment. We have published this package – censusr – on CRAN under an open-source license. We hope others can use it to streamline their analyses. Contributions to the source code are welcome on GitHub.
