fips_info: Retrieve states or counties using FIPS codes

Description

Retrieve states or counties using FIPS codes

Usage

fips_info(fips, sortAndRemoveDuplicates = FALSE, data_year = NULL)
# S3 method for numeric
fips_info(fips, sortAndRemoveDuplicates = FALSE, data_year = NULL)
# S3 method for character
fips_info(fips, sortAndRemoveDuplicates = FALSE, data_year = NULL)

Value

A data frame with the states or counties and the associated FIPS codes.

If fips is omitted, the data frame containing all available states is returned.

Arguments

fips

A one to five digit, either numeric or character, vector of FIPS codes for which to look up states or counties. States have a two digit FIPS code and counties have a five digit FIPS code (where the first 2 numbers pertain to the state).

sortAndRemoveDuplicates

Whether or not to sort the output and remove duplicates. By default, the output will be returned in the order of the values provided to the fips parameter. Set this parameter to TRUE to return the output sorted by FIPS with a single instance of each FIPS.

data_year

The year for which to obtain FIPS data. If the value is NULL, the most recent year's data is used. If the provided year is not found from the available map data sets, the next most recent year's data is used. The default is NULL, i.e. the most recent available year is used.
