Overview

About

Maintained by Paolo Di LorenzoCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Obtain United States map data frames of varying region types (e.g. county, state). The map data frames include Alaska and Hawaii conveniently placed to the bottom left, as they appear in most maps of the US. Convenience functions for plotting choropleths, visualizing spatial data, and working with FIPS codes are also provided.

Changes in 1.0.0

Introducing usmap 1.0.0! This week we celebrated 10 years since the first commit to this project. It has been quite a ride and usmap has grown greatly over the years. To everyone who has supported the project in any way, either by reporting issues, contributing code, or just using the package in your work, thank you so much.

I'm happy to announce that with this version we have finally added Puerto Rico! This addition has been years in the making and its now available throughout usmap.

New Features

Add Puerto Rico support to all usmap functions (where relevant), see Issue #20.
All included map years have been retroactively updated to include Puerto Rico, so any valid value of data_year will include Puerto Rico if desired.
Functions now return Puerto Rico in their data sets and it can be included or excluded just like any state (using FIPS, full name, abbreviation, etc.).
Puerto Rican municipalities will be shown when using "county" map variants.
By default, Puerto Rico is not shown when using plot_usmap() unless it is specifically included with the include parameter. This default behavior can be changed by setting the environment variable USMAP_DEFAULT_EXCLUDE_PR = FALSE. Setting this parameter will include Puerto Rico by default when calling plot_usmap() unless specifically excluded with the exclude parameter.
Special thanks @dcaud who started this work years ago.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("usmap", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("pdil/usmap")

Development version from pdil/usmap. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-usmap

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-usmap

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-usmap

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
