Find the population-weighted centre of a municipality

Description

Find the population-weighted centre of a municipality

Usage

ll_find_pop_centre(
  sf_location,
  sf_population_grid,
  power = 2,
  join = sf::st_intersects,
  adjusted = FALSE
)

Arguments

power	Defaults to 2. To give more weight to cells with higher population density, raise the number of residents by the power of.
join	Defaults to sf::st_intersects.
adjusted	If adjusted is set to TRUE, join is ignored. The population of cells along the boundary line are weighted by the share of the cell included within the border.

Examples

ll_set_folder("~/R/")
name <- "Pinzolo"
sf_location <- ll_get_nuts_it(name = name, level = "lau", resolution = "high")

lau_grid_name_temp <- stringr::str_c(name, "_lau_high-st_intersects")

sf_location_grid <- ll_get_population_grid(
  match_sf = sf_location,
  match_name = lau_grid_name_temp,
  match_country = "IT",
  join = sf::st_intersects
)


pop_centre <- ll_find_pop_centre(
  sf_location = sf_location,
  sf_population_grid = sf_location_grid,
  power = 2
)
