get_parcels: get_parcels

In MatthewSchumwinger/mkedata: Repository for Processed Milwaukee Data

Description

get_parcelbase is a function that retreives the City of Milwaukee's parcel shapefile from the city's download map data page.

Usage

get_parcels(url = parcel_url)

Arguments

url	Endpoint URL. Default = http://itmdapps.milwaukee.gov/gis/mapdata/parcelbase.zip

Details

The City of Milwaukee parcel shapefile accommodates condominium records (multiple tax identifiers – "taxkeys" – assigned to one parcel). Multiple records (one for each taxkey) exist for condominium parcels. As a result, a direct join can be made between parcelbase.shp and MPROP (or other taxkey-based dataset), and condominium data will be accurately joined.

Value

A large SpatialPolygonsDataFrame.

Examples
