Arguments

level

A character or vector of characters specifying the geographic level of the data. It may be necessary to specificy values to the corresponding levels. For instance, when level = "county", you have to specify a state (e.g., state = "WI", the default state in this package). You can also use a wildcard method (state = "*") to include all the states. Below, you can see the required combinations of different summary levels.
