census_get_data_one: Get 2016 Census Profile data for a geography of interest.

In Ottawa-Neighbourhood-Study/onsr: Ottawa Neighbourhood Study (ONS) Common Functions

Get 2016 Census Profile data for a geography of interest.

Description

This function provides an interface to Statistics Canada's 2016 Census geographies Web Data Service (WDS) and returns some or all Census Profile data for a geography of interest. Data is returned for individual regions specified by Dissemination Geography Unique Identifiers (or DGUIDs), which can correspond to census regions like dissemination areas, political regions like provinces and territories, or economic regions.

NOTE: This function is under active development, and it is my intention to turn it into a properly "tidy" function.

For more details on the underlying API, please see StatsCan's documentation here:
