Getting simple feature geometry

tidycensus can obtain simple feature geometry for many geographies by adding the argument geometry = TRUE. In this exercise, you'll obtain a dataset of median housing values for owner-occupied units by Census tract in Orange County, California with simple feature geometry included.
