Open Source
Below you can learn about some of the open source projects I have created. They are typically tools for analyzing public datasets.
A python module for analyzing trends in Census data. It started out for personal use, and was contributed to the censusdis package in March 2025.
An app for exploring how US counties have changed since Covid-19. I spoke about this project at the San Francisco Python Meetup in June 2024.
A suite of R packages for mapping demographic statistics. It has been downloaded 300k times and is the subject of three online courses
I received funding from the R Consortium to create a “Working Group” dedicated to US Census data. Together we published “A Guide to Working with Census Data in R”.
