Slides, R code, and dataset from my presentation (abstract) at the useR 2012 conference in Nashville, TN:
- useR2012_Wieczorek.pdf: presentation slides, including links to other work in this area
Add.AK.DC.HI.exitbox.r: add Alaska, Hawaii, DC, and (optionally) an “exit” button to themapspackage’s state map of continental USmap.example.r: static choropleth map of poverty by US statepovmap.interactive.r: interactive map of poverty by US state, showing which states are significantly different from the selected state- D3 Javascript version of the same map
- StatePovData.csv: US state poverty rate estimates for 2009 and their 90% confidence intervals, from the US Census Bureau’s Small Area Poverty and Income Estimates (SAIPE) program
These scripts are proofs-of-concept, not polished products. I look forward to improving them with all the other fantastic R packages I’ve learned about this week.

All data used to make these maps is publicly available at the Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE) website.
