The 14 American Community Survey (ACS) variable codes that
cacs_acs_prefetch() and cacs_run() use when variables is NULL
(the default). Ten of them are the numerators and denominators of the
five rates in cacs_acs_default_rates. The other four are total
population (B01003_001), total households (B11001_001), median
household income (B19013_001), and per capita income (B19301_001).
The names are short labels for the codes, such as pov_below for
B17001_002. The package uses only the codes, so results name each
variable by its code.
Usage
data("cacs_acs_default_vars")Format
A named character vector of length 14. Each value is an ACS
variable code: B and five digits for the table, an underscore, and
three digits, such as B17001_002.
Source
The codes are from the ACS detailed tables of the U.S. Census Bureau. The variables and their names were chosen for this package.
