In SeerMapper: A Quick Way to Map U.S. Rates and Data of U.S. States, Counties, Census Tracts, or Seer Registries using 2000 and 2010 U.S. Census Boundaries

Description

These datasets are based on the 2000 and 2010 census demographic data for all of the counties or census tracts in the identified state. This data supports the examples in the SeerMapper package and contains demographics for Georgia (GA) and Washington (WA) state. Each dataset contsins the location IDs (either a county FIPS codes (5 digits) or census tract FIPS code (11 digits)), the abbreviation of the associated Seer Registry (if any), 2000/2010 population, area in sq. miles of each county or tract, 2000/2010 population density (pop/area), population 65 years old or older, the number of housing units, the number of units occupied, the number of units occupied by owner, and population of hispanics.

In Georgia all counties and census tracts belong to registries. The three Seer registry areas in Georgia are identifed, using the abbreviations of: GA-ATL, GA-RUR, and GA-OTH. In the examples, this data is used for full state mapping, Seer registry areas mapping (subdivided by Seer registry area abbreviations), and randomly selected data to represent different situations for partial data collections. This data can be used by both the SeerMapper package,

Usage

data(GA_Dem_Tr_Data)

Format

The naming convention for the files are: SS_DemYY_AA_Data, where SS is the same 2 character postal abbreviation (GA = Georgia and WA = Washingon), YY is "" for 2000 and "10" for 2010 census demographic data, and AA is the area type (Co = County, and Tr = Census Tract). The files contained in this package are:

• GA_Dem_Co_Data - Georgia County Demographic data for 2000

• GA_Dem10_Co_Data - Georgia County Demographic data for 2010

• GA_Dem_Tr_Data - Georgia Census Tract Demographic data for 2000

• WA_Dem_Co_Data - Washington County Demographic data for 2000

• WA_Dem10_Co_Data - Washington County Demographic data for 2010

• WA_Dem_Tr_Data - Washington Census Tract Demographic data for 2000

The U. S. Census demographic data files contains hundreds for variables and counts. These files are used in the examples and only contain the following 11 columns of data:

FIPS

is a character vector of the U.S. County (5 digits) or Census Tract (11 digits) FIPS codes.

pop2000 or pop2010

is a integer containing the 2000 or 2010 sub-area population.

popdens

is a integer containing the 2000 or 2010 population density of the sub-areat.

areasm

is a numeric area of the sub-area( county or tract) in square miles.

saID

is a character factor vector of the abbreviation of the Seer Registry the sub-area is a member. The Seer Registry abbreviations match the abbreviations used in the package boundaries datasets for each Seer Registry state. For Georgia the three Seer Registries are: GA-ATL, GA-RUR, and GA-OTH.

age.65.up

is an integer representing the population with the age of 65 or higher.

hh.units

is an integer representing the number of physical housing units in the county or census tract.

hh.occupied

is an integer representing the number of housing units that are occupied. (hh.units-hh.occupied) equals the number of housing units vacant.

hh.owner

is an integer representing the number of housing units that are occupied by the owner. (hh.occupied-hh.owner) equals the number of units that are occupied by renters.
