data(county_polygons)

Format

A data frame with 91,030 rows and 7 variables

Details

NOTE: A small number of counties have multiple groups. Typically, these counties are separated into multiple polygons by, say, a body of water. Example: Galveston, Texas (FIPS == 48167).

U.S. counties are uniquely identified by a FIPS code.

The county_polygons data frame consists of the following variables:

• order. The order in which the vertices should be drawn.

• fips. County FIPS Code

• names. Unique name to describe county.

• group. County polygon's group number.

• lat. County's latitude

• long. County's longitude

• county. The county's name.
