I am currently working with tidycensus to retrieve estimates and their margin of error (moe) from the US Census Data (acs5 more specifically). The function I have been using get_acs()
does a very good job at fetching estimates and their margin of error, but I couldn’t find a way to retrieve percent and percent margin of error for the same variables. Is there another package that does a good job at this?
The code chunk I have been using(for estimates) looks like this:
ep_unemp_cousub <- get_acs(
geography = "county subdivision",
variables = "DP03_0009",
state = "ME",
survey = "acs5",
year=2022
)```
