lehdr 1.2.1
grab_lodes() now accepts year = 2023 for
LODES8, following the Census Bureau’s release of 2023 LODES data. LODES8
now covers 2002-2023 (#46).- Documentation for the LODES8 year range is updated in
grab_lodes() and its Rd file.
- Added a regression test that downloads 2023 LODES8 WAC data for
Massachusetts and checks the total against the published file. Thanks to
@stevenpandrews for the test
(#46).
- Tests for out-of-range years now use fixed years (2001 and 2099) so
they do not need editing when new LODES years are released. Tests now
cover both the lower and upper bounds for LODES8.
- Examples that download data from the Census Bureau server are now
wrapped in
\dontrun{} so that R CMD check does
not depend on network availability.
- The
R-CMD-check workflow no longer fails when the
R-devel job on Ubuntu stalls, and installed vignette figures no longer
trigger an inst/doc NOTE.
- License and citation years are updated to 2026.
lehdr 1.2.0
- Input validation for
state, year,
use_cache, and state_part is stricter and
error messages are consistent (rlang::abort()).
- Download logic shared across LODES file types is consolidated into
an internal helper.
grab_crosswalk() gains a version
argument.- Cached files now include the LODES version in the file name (for
example,
lodes8_md_wac_S000_JT00_2019.csv.gz). Older cached
files are not matched and can be deleted.
- New analytical functions:
compute_commute_stats()
(self-containment and net flow), compute_lodes_change()
(longitudinal change), and compute_earnings_share()
(earnings tier distribution).
- The Getting Started vignette is expanded to cover the new functions,
with an example of a job accessibility index.
