Learn to Map Census Data guides you through a project that uses a subset of Choroplethr's functionality (US State maps and US Census Data). After completing the project, it will be easier for you to learn how other Choroplethr features work.

Learn to Map Census Data in R has six lessons, and one lesson will be emailed to you each day. This course has helped several thousand people learn to use Choroplethr. 

Packages and Documentation

While Choroplethr is conceptually one body of work, it is divided into five different R packages. The packages are

• choroplethr
• choroplethrMaps
• choroplethrAdmin1
• choroplethrZip
• rUnemploymentData

The Choroplethr documentation pages provide:

• a description and installation instructions for each package
• a complete list of the functions and data in each package
• examples of using each function and data object

Courses

There are two full-length courses related to Choroplethr:

• Mapmaking in R with Choroplethr is the definitive guide to working with Choroplethr. It teaches you how to conduct exploratory analysis with Choroplethr, as well as how to use each of the maps that Choroplethr ships with.
• Shapefiles for R Programmers teaches you how to work with Shapefiles in R. This is especially useful if you need to work with maps that are not already packaged on CRAN.

These courses can be purchased individually, or at a discount as part of the R Mapping Bundle.
