Download spatial data of Census Weighting Areas (area de ponderacao) of the Brazilian Population Census

Description

Only 2010 data is currently available.

Usage

read_weighting_area(
  code_weighting = "all",
  year = 2010,
  simplified = TRUE,
  showProgress = TRUE
)

Arguments

code_weighting

The 7-digit code of a Municipality. If the two-digit code or a two-letter uppercase abbreviation of a state is passed, (e.g. 33 or "RJ") the function will load all weighting areas of that state. If code_weighting="all", all weighting areas of the country are loaded.

year

Numeric. Year of the data. Defaults to 2010.

simplified

Logic FALSE or TRUE, indicating whether the function should return the data set with 'original' spatial resolution or a data set with 'simplified' geometry. Defaults to TRUE. For spatial analysis and statistics users should set simplified = FALSE. Borders have been simplified by removing vertices of borders using ⁠st_simplify{sf}⁠ preserving topology with a dTolerance of 100.

showProgress

Logical. Defaults to TRUE display progress bar.

Value

An ⁠"sf" "data.frame"⁠ object
