Description

Usage

municipality_counter(
  mutations,
  dates,
  geo_level = "ch",
  include_cant_lakes = FALSE
)

Arguments

mutations

A tibble containing the municipality mutations inventory (see import_CH_municipality_inventory)

dates

A Date object vector

geo_level

Either "ch" or "cantons".

include_cant_lakes

Boolean, TRUE to also include lakes in the count.

Note

All entities that have a bfs nr are counted (e.g. also Gemeindefreie Gebiete). This is not exactly what the BfS does in the webtool Applikation der Schweizer Gemeinden. However, it is not possible to distinguish "Gemeinden" und "Gemeindefreie Gebiete" generically, based on the information in the Gemeindeverzeichnis.
