In version 1.4:

  • get_decennial() has been updated to accommodate the new Demographic and Housing Characteristics and Demographic Profile summary files. Use sumfile = "dhc" for the DHC file, and sumfile = "dp" for the DP file.
  • The default year in get_decennial() is now 2020. This may be a breaking change for some legacy code that omits the year, so be sure to update scripts to hard-code the year for years earlier than 2020.
  • sumfile = "pl" is the default for get_decennial() and will remain so to avoid existing code breakages. Please note that variable IDs are replicated across the PL and DHC files, but may represent different topics.
  • get_estimates() now supports the 2020, 2021, and 2022 Population Estimates. These datasets are not on the Census API, so tidycensus downloads and parses the flat files.
