🎉🎉 The 2021 1-year American Community Survey microdata are out today! 🎉🎉 Use them *right now* in #rstats tidycensus with the `get_pums()` function and the arguments `survey = "acs1"` and `year = 2021` I'll have full 2021 PUMS support (e.g. variable recoding) up on CRAN soon

Side by side comparison of the Area Depravation Index by the folks at UW and the Neighborhood Deprivation Index I created using the sfdep package. My code here: rpubs.com/codargarza/952… Similarities: border communities have high levels of depravation.
