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.
