Data

The data has been pre-processed to enable you to focus on visualisation instead of data cleaning.

Pre-processing

The raw data downloaded from census websites can be found in the data/raw-data folder, and the README explains where each data set came from.

The raw data was processed to create the clean data sets in the data folder. The processing code can be found in data/00_clean_data.R.

Loading data

You can load the main, pre-cleaned data sets using:

library(readr)
