1. Other resources for demographic data in R
Congratulations on finishing this course! In this video, I'll discuss some other resources for continuing your work with demographic data in R.
2. Other R packages to know about
There are several other packages for working with demographic data in R. The censusapi package is also an R wrapper for the Census API; however, it is designed to allow users to access all of the Census Bureau's API endpoints, which are numerous! The ipumsr package is an interface to the Minnesota Population Center's demographic data resources in R, which include historical Census data going back to 1790 and formatted microdata, which are anonymous individual-level responses to Census surveys. Finally, the cancensus package grants access to demographic and spatial data from the Canadian Census, using a similar data model to tidycensus.
3. Other DataCamp courses
To take your Census data analysis with tidycensus and tigris even further, I recommend these DataCamp courses. The courses will give you additional experience wrangling data with tidyverse tools, visualizing data with ggplot2, and making compelling web-based interactive maps. All of these skills will be very useful to you for communicating the results of your Census data analyses.
