Calculate the ACS-derived blockgroup stage for EJSCREEN annual updates

Usage

calc_blockgroupstats_acs(
  yr,
  formulas = EJAM::formulas_ejscreen_acs$formula,
  tables = as.vector(EJAM::tables_ejscreen_acs),
  dropMOE = TRUE,
  acs_raw = NULL
)

Arguments

yr

end year of 5-year ACS dataset, guessed if not specified

formulas

default is formulas used by EJAM/EJScreen. A vector of string formulas such as c("pop = B01001_001", "hisp = B03002_012", "pcthisp <- ifelse(pop==0, 0, as.numeric(hisp ) / pop)")

tables

default is the key ACS tables needed by EJAM/EJScreen. A vector of ACS table numbers, such as c("B01001", "B03002")

dropMOE

logical, whether to drop and not retain the margin of error information on every ACS variable

acs_raw

optional raw ACS table list or bg_acs_raw pipeline object previously created by download_bg_acs_raw(). If supplied, no ACS download is performed for blockgroup-resolution tables.

Value

data.table, one row per blockgroup, columns bgfips, etc.

Details

This lower-level helper calculates ACS-derived blockgroup indicators from the Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year summary file. In the current annual pipeline it is called through calc_bg_acsdata(), which is in turn orchestrated by calc_ejscreen_dataset() and the staged pipeline recipe/config helpers documented in data-raw/run_ejscreen_pipeline_*.R.

Requires installed package ACSdownload from https://github.com/ejanalysis/ACSdownload which is documented at https://ejanalysis.github.io/ACSdownload
