Deprecated, use `get_census` instead — get_census

This function will be removed in future versions.

Usage

get_census_geometry(dataset, regions, level = NA, geo_format = "sf", ...)

Source

Census data and boundary geographies are reproduced and distributed on an "as is" basis with the permission of Statistics Canada (Statistics Canada 2006; 2011; 2016).

Arguments

dataset: A CensusMapper dataset identifier.
regions: A named list of census regions to retrieve. Names must be valid census aggregation levels.
level: The census aggregation level to retrieve, defaults to "Regions". One of "Regions", "PR", "CMA", "CD", "CSD", "CT" or "DA".
geo_format: By default is set to NA and appends no geographic information. To include geographic information with census data, specify one of either "sf" to return an sf object (requires the sf package) or "sp" to return a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame-class object (requires the rgdal package).
...: Further arguments passed to get_census.

Examples

# Query the API for data geographies in Vancouver, at the census subdivision
# level:
if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Query the API for geographies in Vancouver, at the census subdivision
# level, and return the associated geography files in \code{sf} format:
census_data <- get_census(dataset='CA16', regions=list(CMA="59933"),
                          level='CSD', geo_format = "sf")
} # }
