rporta23/censusviz: Framework to Visualize Historical Census Data

The censusviz package facilitate the process of analyzing and visualizing historical census data through 3 primary features: (1) converting historical demographic data from IPUMS into an accessible format for analysis and joining it with geospatial census tract data so that it is easy to visualize on a map, (2) visualize the distribution of demographic data by census tract for a specified region and year on a leaflet map, and (3) create a simple shiny app that allows users to interactively explore changes over time in demographics through leaflet maps and data tables. These three elements will build off of each other such that the user can either simply access the data that they want and perform their own analysis, or they can use the functionality of the package to visualize it spatially using individual maps or a shiny app.
