  code_tract,
  year = 2010,
  zone = "urban",
  simplified = TRUE,
  showProgress = TRUE
)

Arguments

code_tract

The 7-digit code of a Municipality. If the two-digit code or a two-letter uppercase abbreviation of a state is passed, (e.g. 33 or "RJ") the function will load all census tracts of that state. If code_tract="all", all census tracts of the country are loaded.

year

Year of the data. Defaults to 2010

zone

For census tracts before 2010, 'urban' and 'rural' census tracts are separate data sets.

simplified

Logic FALSE or TRUE, indicating whether the function returns the data set with original' resolution or a data set with 'simplified' borders. Defaults to TRUE. For spatial analysis and statistics users should set simplified = FALSE. Borders have been simplified by removing vertices of borders using sf::st_simplify() preserving topology with a dTolerance of 100.

showProgress

Logical. Defaults to TRUE display progress bar

Value

An "sf" "data.frame" object
