Mapping Census Data in R

Goal

Efficiently create self-contained web-ready interactive maps of U.S. Census data using R. In the tutorial, I look at median household income across census tracts in Washington, D.C.

Data Source

Data is from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS, 5-year, 2019). It is extracted from the U.S. Census Bureau API using tidycensus. The table requested is B19013, which provides a measure of median household income in the past 12 months.
