Major exciting overhaul! This was the first time I felt like enough of this package is flexible and well thought out to consider it a real release. A lot of the changes are under the hood--I split a lot of functions into slimmed-down main "caller" functions and multiple task-focused "helper" functions, making it easier to maintain the package, add or modify features, and use the same code for multiple tasks.

User-facing updates

  • Moved from base messages to cli for cleaner and clearer messaging (printouts on what fetch functions are getting, limitations to function calls, etc)
  • Better handling of Census API calls to better deal with how very often their servers are busted
  • Metadata: several behind-the-scenes datasets that set limits of functions' API calls are now expanded to not just be limited to Connecticut--includes qwi_industry and laus_trend.
  • Added a table of occupation codes for main occupation groups
  • Better documentation for many functions

Breaking changes

  • I've never liked the levels for the multi_geo_* functions--I don't really remember why I made these plural, but they're now singular. So a column that would have been e.g. "1_state", "2_counties", "3_towns" will now be "1_state", "2_county", "3_town". This might break filtering you've done by level.
  • Renamed one function: acs_quick_map --> quick_map

To do

  • Update to 2020 ACS and Decennial defaults
