Package: tidylodes Type: Package Title: tidylodes: A package for extracting, processing and 'spatialising' data from the US Census Bureau's LODES database Version: 0.1.0 Author: Patrick Ballantyne [aut, cre] Maintainer: Pukar Bhandari Description: This package enables users to extract datasets directly from the US Census Bureau's database of Longitudinal Origin-Destination Employment Statistics (LODES). The database contains three different datasets - the first two Workplace Area Characteristics (WAC) and Residential Area Characteristics (RAC) contain estimates of total jobs and jobs in specific sectors (e.g. Retail Trade, Manufacturing). The third dataset, contains OD flows of jobs from residential areas to workplace areas. This package is novel in that it not only cleans these datasets and improves the recording of census geographies within them, but also converts these datasets to spatial formats that enable spatial manipulation/analysis to be carried out.
