In ejanalysis/UScensus2010blocks: Census 2010 Data For All US Blocks (pop, area, urban, lat/lon) (for EJ analysis, etc.)

UScensus2010blocks package

This UScensus2010blocks package provides data on 11 million Census blocks (the entire USA).

Each field (e.g., pop contains population counts) is stored as a vector in one RData file for the entire USA's 11 million plus blocks. These can be quickly compiled into a single data.frame that has over 11 million rows and one column per field.

The fields are FIPS code (fips), population count (pop), latitude (lat), longitude (lon), physical size (area), and urban vs rural code (urban).
