zipcodeR: reproducible U.S. ZIP-code analysis

Description

zipcodeR provides two deliberately separate interfaces.

Recommended interface for new analyses

Use functions ending in ⁠_ng⁠ with an explicitly selected data bundle. Start with download_zip_data_bundle() for a registered immutable version or read_zip_data_bundle() for a local checksum-pinned file. Passing the bundle as the first argument makes the chosen data vintage visible in every call. ⁠_ng⁠ never resolves an implicit latest version or downloads during a lookup.

Historical compatibility interface

Unsuffixed functions and the datasets in ⁠data/⁠ retain the exact zipcodeR 0.3.5 contract for existing scripts and research reproduction. This includes historical data, scientific algorithms, conditions, ordering, and known edge cases. Use zip_data_version() to record which contract an analysis used.
