The example_US_stateObesity dataset provides a small state dataset to use in code examples. The code for creating it demonstrates creation of a dataest that is compatible with stateMap().

This dataset was generated on 2020-06-09 by running:


library(dplyr)
library(MazamaSpatialUtils)

fileUrl <- paste0("http://data-lakecountyil.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/",
                  "3e0c1eb04e5c48b3be9040b0589d3ccf_8.csv")

col_names <- c("FID", "stateName", "obesityRate", "SHAPE_Length", "SHAPE_Area")
col_types = "icddd"

outputColumns <- c("stateCode", "stateName", "obesityRate")

# After a little trial and error, the following works well:

example_US_stateObesity <-
  readr::read_csv(
    file = fileUrl,
    skip = 1,                    # Skip the header line
    col_names = col_names,
    col_types = col_types
  ) %>%
  dplyr::mutate(
    stateCode = MazamaSpatialUtils::US_stateNameToCode(stateName)
  ) %>%
  dplyr::select(!!outputColumns)

save(example_US_stateObesity, file = "data/example_US_stateObesity.rda")
example_US_stateObesity
