places | R Documentation |
An incorporated place provides governmental functions for a concentration of people. Incorporated places may extend across county and county subdivision boundaries, but never across state boundaries. An incorporated place usually is a city, town, village, or borough, but can have other legal descriptions. CDPs are the statistical counterparts of incorporated places. CDPs are settled concentrations of population that are identifiable by name but not legally incorporated under the laws of the state in which the CDPs are located. For more information, read appropriate section on "Places" for the correct vintage (year) of your data in the TIGER/Line Shapefiles and TIGER/Line Files Technical Documentation available as of this writing here: https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/geography/technical-documentation/complete-technical-documentation/tiger-geo-line.html.
places(state = NULL, cb = FALSE, year = NULL, ...)
state |
The two-digit FIPS code (string) of the state you want. Can also
be state name or state abbreviation. When |
cb |
If cb is set to TRUE, download a generalized (1:500k) cartographic boundary file. Defaults to FALSE (the most detailed TIGER/Line file). |
year |
the data year; defaults to 2022 |
... |
arguments to be passed to internal function |
Additional arguments that can be passed in ...
are:
class
Desired class of return object: "sf"
(the default) or "sp"
. sp classes should be considered deprecated as of tigris version 2.0, but legacy support is still available.
progress_bar
If set to FALSE
, do not display download progress bar (helpful for R Markdown documents). Defaults to TRUE
.
keep_zipped_shapefile
If set to TRUE
, do not delete zipped shapefile (stored in temporary directory or TIGRIS_CACHE_DIR
depending on the configuration of global option "tigris_use_cache"
). Defaults to FALSE
.
refresh
Whether to re-download cached shapefiles (TRUE
or FALSE
) . The default is either FALSE
or the value of global
option "tigris_refresh"
if it is set. Specifying this argument will override the behavior set in "tigris_refresh"
global option.
filter_by
Geometry used to filter the output returned by the function. Can be an sf object, an object of class bbox
, or a length-4 vector of format c(xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax)
that can be converted to a bbox. Geometries that intersect the input to filter_by
will be returned.
