Get access to 5 hours of workshop content and two brand-new annotated tutorials on working with 2020 Decennial Census data using R and tidycensus.

Workshop 1: Access and Analyze the New 2020 Decennial Census Data

In this 2.5 hour workshop, you'll learn how to access and analyze brand-new data from the 2020 Decennial Census using R and tidycensus. The Demographic and Housing Characteristics (DHC) file, released on May 25, includes our first look at detailed age, sex, and household characteristics from the 2020 Census all the way down to the Census block.

In the first hour, you'll be introduced to brand-new functionality in tidycensus to seamlessly access the new Census data within R. You'll get unique tips on the tidycensus R package, a powerful tool to make your work with Census data easier, and you'll be the first to gain insights into working with the new DHC file.

The second hour covers data analysis and visualization with the 2020 Decennial Census data. Learn how to use tidyverse tools to uncover insights in the new Census data, and create sophisticated data visualizations like population pyramids for your projects using R.

The last 30 minutes were a question-and-answer session where live participants asked a variety of R and tidycensus-related questions.

Workshop 2: Mapping and Spatial Analysis with the 2020 Decennial Census

In this 2.5 hour workshop, you'll learn how use mapping and spatial analysis to work with and visualize 2020 Decennial Census data. The Demographic and Housing Characteristics (DHC) file, released on May 25, includes our first look at detailed age, sex, and household characteristics from the 2020 Census all the way down to the Census block. You'll use R along with tools like tidycensus, sf, and mapview to explore and communicate trends in the new data.

In the first hour, you'll learn how to use tidycensus to access linked demographic and geographic decennial Census data within R. You'll get up to speed with geospatial Census data management in R, and you'll learn how to make a variety of Census maps with tools like ggplot2 and mapview.

The second hour covers spatial data analysis with the 2020 DHC data. Given that new privacy protections in the data increase uncertainty for small areas, the Census Bureau recommends aggregating small counts to improve reliability. You'll learn how to use spatial analysis tools to perform this aggregation in your Census data work, and you'll gain experience with R's powerful GIS toolkit to generate custom insights.

The last 30 minutes are a live question-and-answer session where we addressed how to connect your own data resources with spatial Census data in R.

You get:

  • Unlimited access to 5 hours of workshop videos so you can learn at your own pace
  • Two annotated tutorials on analyzing and mapping Census data in R, with insights not found anywhere else
  • The Quarto and R source code behind the workshops to help you learn these skills yourselves
