I had the same issue and it seems you will need to pass the absolute path. See this .

Instead of using here maybe try using normalizePath in include_graphics.

So omit your call here(), which may not be propagating across chunks (I don't know, because I can't see your chunks), and do:

Capturing the range indicated by the use of "to" in a column - tidycensus (U.S. Census API)

Asked 2022-Feb-15 at 03:06

How might I capture all the years of age in a column with values like "20 to 24 years" for one group and "22 to 24 years" for another group? This will enable me to confirm I have all the working age (18-64) variable names captured in a tidycensus (R package) U.S. Census API query.

Goal

What I want is, for ages 20-24 in this example, a data frame that extracts the ages from label entries like "22 to 24 years":

I tend to do this in two steps. The first step specifies some characteristic in a metadata file. The second step applies the metadata to the problem.

It looks like you'll need to approximate some, because the levels don't cleanly fit your boundaries. For example, "15 to 19 years old" straddles 18.

(To keep things simpler, I'm assuming you'll never want to keep the "20 to 24 years" level, but exclude the "20 to 24 years old" level.

Your arlington.test object seems to be in EPSG:4269; you attempted to override it to WGS 84 via sf::st_set_crs(4326). Are you certain you did not mean sf::st_transform(4326)?

The set crs is best reserved for cases you are certain the CRS is malformed / incorrect (it can happen when the *.prj gets lost from your *.shp shapefile). This is not a typical use case for {tidycensus} data.

To change projection from one known CRS to another sf::st_transform() works the best.

QUESTION

How do I accurately aggregate subgroup margin of error values using tidycensus and tidyverse?

Asked 2021-Jun-04 at 11:28

I am trying to calculate the population under 20 by race for each county in MN using the American Community Survey in R. Using Tidycensus I am aware this can be done using the B01001H variables for each race and age group in R. However I would need to aggregate all the variables for those under 20 for each racial group. According to this webpage (https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/publications/2018/acs/acs_general_handbook_2018_ch08.pdf) while aggregating the estimates is merely the sum of each of the subgroup values, aggregating the margin of error requires I calculate this formula:

ANSWER

Answered 2021-Feb-07 at 00:54

So I figured out what I was doing wrong! Apparently, my dataset listed for the graph generation was one that was calculating averages for other problems on the assignment. It consisted of single averaged observations.

So the fix to this was to go back to my originally cleaned dataset and change the parameters to reflect the old variables before averages were taken.
