Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) See Also

decode_county converts county code fields into full-length names by evaluating a scalar or vector of values of class character. It also provides the option to include a "County" label.

1	decode_county(code, label = FALSE)

`code`	A scalar or vector of length n and class character containing one or more county codes.
`label`	A logical value (i.e. `TRUE` or `FALSE`) to indicate whether returned county names should be labeled with "County". Defaults to `FALSE`.

Output may be made categorical using function factor or as.factor. This function also allows for easily tallying counts using, e.g., function table.

Values containing unrecognized county codes are coerced to NA (missing) values and a warning message is thrown.

A scalar or vector of values of class character containing full-length county names. Missing values are preserved.
