cens_find

cens_find_dec

cens_find_acs

This function uses fuzzy matching to help identify tables from the census
which contain variables of interest. Matched table codes are printed out,
along with the Census-provided table description, the parsed variable names,
and example table cells. The website <a href="https://censusreporter.org/">https://censusreporter.org/</a> may also
be useful in finding variables.

Extracting desired data using the proper Census variable names can
be time-consuming. This package takes the pain out of that process by
providing functions to quickly locate variables and download labeled tables
from the Census APIs (<https://www.census.gov/data/developers/data-sets.html>).
