Analysis and map tile creation for cherry-blossoms project

Hello — I’m a data reporter who investigates how the decisions made by people in power affect our lives using statistical analysis, graphics, and traditional reporting techniques.

I built and maintain censusapi, an R package that makes it easy to grab U.S. Census Bureau data programmatically.

I’m available for full-time or contract data journalism, programming, and analysis jobs. See more and reach out on my website.

{arcgislayers} in case you want to use arcgis hub data in the future :)

This analysis was super cool! I noticed you hand crafted and processed Feature Layer queries :)

In case you want to use data like this in the future you can make it a little bit easier by using the arcgislayers package!

library(arcgis)
