us.census.geoheader - US 2010 Census SF2 Geographic Header Summary Levels 010-050
A simple interface to the Geographic Header information
from the "2010 US Census Summary File 2". The entire Summary
File 2 is described at
<https://catalog.data.gov/dataset/census-2000-summary-file-2-sf2>,
but note that this package only provides access to parts of the
geographic header ('geoheader') of the file. In particular,
only the first 101 columns of the geoheader are included and,
more importantly, only rows with summary levels (SUMLEVs) 010
through 050 (nation down through county level) are included.
In addition to access to (part of) the geoheader, the package
also provides a decode function that takes a column name and
value and, for certain columns, returns "the meaning" of that
column (i.e., a "SUMLEV" value of 40 means "State"); without a
value, the decode function attempts to describe the column
itself.
