sd_neighbor_map {edbuildmapr}

A function to create a map of a school district and its neighbors

Description

This function allows you to create a map of any school district with its neighbors symbolized by a selected variable.

Usage

sd_neighbor_map(data_year = "2019", school_district = NULL,
 map_var = "Student Poverty", legend= TRUE, type = "like")

Arguments

Four digit year of master data to pull in. Options include 2013- 2019. Defaults to 2019.

school_district

Seven digit NCESID of the school district. Default is NULL.

Variable by which to symbolize the map.

• Student Poverty colors by student poverty rate

• Total Revenue colors by state and local revenue per pupil

• Local Revenue colors by local revenue per pupil

• State Revenue colors by state revenue per pupil

• Percent Nonwhite colors by percent nonwhite enrollment

• Median Household Income colors by owner-occupied median household income

legend

If TRUE, legend is visible. Defaults to TRUE.

type

Indicate which types of neighbors to return. Defaults to "like", returning a map of neighbors of the same district type (unified to unified, elementary to elementary and secondary to secondary).
