read_ipums_codebook

Read text formatted codebooks provided by some IPUMS extract systems such as
NHGIS and Terra Area-level extracts in a format analogous to the DDIs
available for other projects.

An easy way to import census, survey and geographic data provided by 'IPUMS'
into R plus tools to help use the associated metadata to make analysis easier. 'IPUMS'
data describing 1.4 billion individuals drawn from over 750 censuses and surveys is
available free of charge from our website <https://www.ipums.org>.
