Testing various geocoding techniques.
- The first test uses MapChi which gets us about half the zip codes and none of the tract informaiton.
- The second test was to use censusr and older package that might get us tract info. It's been deprecated in favor of tidycensus, but that package doesn't appear to have the same geo coding function. I couldn't get a good request.
- geocodio is an online tool that gave great results, including the census information we were lookiing for. There is an rgeocodio but I've yet to look at it.
- Will try [tigris]
The example I want to try:
airports <- dplyr::data_frame(
street = "700 Catalina Dr", city = "Daytona Beach", state = "FL"
)
append_geoid(airports, 'tr')
