County land area data.
Description
A dataframe containing the FIPS code and estimated radius (in km) for
each U.S. county. This dataset was put together using a dataset from the U.S.
Census American FactFinder data dissemination tool. This dataset was downloaded
from the geographic identifiers 'G001' option for the 2010 Summary File1
(SF1). The file was found by following the instructions recommended by the
U.S. census here: https://ask.census.gov/faq.php?id=5000&faqId=7825. The
website listed in "Source" gives more information about this dataset.
Usage
county_radius
Format
A dataframe with 3,143 rows and 2 variables:
- fips
A character vector giving the county's five-digit Federal
Information Processing Standard (FIPS) code
- county_radius
A numeric vector giving an estimate for each
county's radius from its center, in km. This value
was calculated by dividing the U.S. Census Land Area
estimates (which are in square meters) by 1,000,000,
and then taking the square root of each area and
dividing by pi. Each county was estimated to be
roughly circular for the purposes of estimating
county radii.
