List all parent variables from vector hierarchies given either a list of Census variables returned by list_census_vectors, search_census_vectors, find_census_vectors, or a direct string reference to the vector code.

List all parent variables from vector hierarchies given either a list of Census variables returned by list_census_vectors, search_census_vectors, find_census_vectors, or a direct string reference to the vector code.

parent_census_vectors(vector_list)

Arguments

vector_list

The list of vectors to be used, either a character vector or a filtered tibble as returned from list_census_vectors.

Examples

# Query parent vectors directly using vector identifier
parent_census_vectors("v_CA16_2519")
#> # A tibble: 1 × 7
#>   vector      type  label                units parent_vector aggregation details
#>   <chr>       <fct> <chr>                <fct> <chr>         <chr>       <chr>  
#> 1 v_CA16_2510 Total Total - Low-income … Numb… NA            Additive    CA 201…
if (FALSE) {
# Example using multiple vectors coerced into a list
parent_census_vectors(c("v_CA16_2519","v_CA16_2520","v_CA16_2521"))

# or, equivalently
selected_vectors <- c("v_CA16_2519","v_CA16_2520","v_CA16_2521")
parent_census_vectors(selected_vectors)

# Example using dplyr and piped arguments
library(dplyr, warn.conflicts = FALSE)
