Download spatial data of census tracts of the Brazilian Population Census

Description

Download spatial data of census tracts of the Brazilian Population Census

Usage

read_census_tract(
  code_tract,
  year = 2010,
  zone = "urban",
  simplified = TRUE,
  showProgress = TRUE,
  cache = TRUE
)

Arguments

code_tract	The 7-digit code of a Municipality. If the two-digit code or a two-letter uppercase abbreviation of a state is passed, (e.g. 33 or "RJ") the function will load all census tracts of that state. If code_tract="all", the function downloads all census tracts of the country.
year	Numeric. Year of the data in YYYY format. Defaults to 2010.
zone	For census tracts before 2010, 'urban' and 'rural' census tracts are separate data sets.
simplified	Logic FALSE or TRUE, indicating whether the function should return the data set with 'original' spatial resolution or a data set with 'simplified' geometry. Defaults to TRUE. For spatial analysis and statistics users should set simplified = FALSE. Borders have been simplified by removing vertices of borders using ⁠st_simplify{sf}⁠ preserving topology with a dTolerance of 100.
showProgress	Logical. Defaults to TRUE display progress bar.
cache	Logical. Whether the function should read the data cached locally, which is faster. Defaults to cache = TRUE. By default, geobr stores data files in a temporary directory that exists only within each R session. If cache = FALSE, the function will download the data again and overwrite the local file.

Value

An ⁠"sf" "data.frame"⁠ object

# Read all census tracts of a state at a given year
  c <- read_census_tract(code_tract=53, year=2010) # or
  c <- read_census_tract(code_tract="DF", year=2010)
  plot(c)

# Read all census tracts of a municipality at a given year
