Loading variables in tidycensus
There are hundreds of thousands of variables in the decennial Census and American Community Survey samples, which can make it difficult to know which variable codes to use! tidycensus aims to make this easier with the load_variables() function, which obtains a dataset of variables from a specified sample and loads it into R as a browsable data frame.
