Description

Preflight census data

Usage

census_data_preflight(census.data, census.geo, year)

Arguments

census.data	A list indexed by two-letter state abbreviations, which contains pre-saved Census geographic data. Can be generated using get_census_data function.
census.geo	An optional character vector specifying what level of geography to use to merge in U.S. Census geographic data. Currently "county", "tract", "block_group", "block", and "place" are supported. Note: sufficient information must be in user-defined voter.file object. If census.geo = "county", then voter.file must have column named county. If census.geo = "tract", then voter.file must have columns named county and tract. And if census.geo = "block", then voter.file must have columns named county, tract, and block. If census.geo = "place", then voter.file must have column named place. If census.geo = "zcta", then voter.file must have column named zcta. Specifying census.geo will call census_helper function to merge Census geographic data at specified level of geography.
year	An optional character vector specifying the year of U.S. Census geographic data to be downloaded. Use "2010", or "2020". Default is "2020".
