Connecticut Planning Regions

[wadejes1]

Hello, I recent found this package on R and it has been very useful for making state level maps. I am starting to use the county function a bit more. I mainly use the Census Bureaus ACS data and Connecticut recently got rid of the county structure, instead of 8 Counties there are 9 planning regions . This creates issues when using the latest ACS data because the data is released at a planning region level. The counties now show up as grey because the FIPs no longer match with the County fips the mapping program uses. Any chance there is a future update in the works that could account for this change? I really enjoy using this package on R, makes like much easier.

Yeah I plan on adding the ability to do this (as reported in #110) soon. I'm still working out the best way to do this without introducing confusion or extra complexity.

This work is finally complete and available in the newly released usmap v0.8.0. The update introduces the data_year parameter for most functions and includes data from the years 2021-2024 (inclusive) to choose from (the latest is used by default).
