tigris_extract(tig_res = "5m", tig_year = 2019, tig_cb = FALSE, tig_crs = 4326)

Arguments

tig_res	(character) : The resolution of the cartographic boundary file (if cb == TRUE). Defaults to '500k'; options include '5m' (1:5 million) and '20m' (1:20 million). Default is '5m'
tig_year	(integer) : The year for which you want to download the
