However, you only need to download county, tract, and block group data which is less than 500 mb. When you've downloaded the packages, run:\r\n\r\n```\r\ninstall.packages(c(\"maptools\",\"maps\"));\r\ninstall.packages(c(\r\n\"UScensus2010county_1.00.tar.gz\",\r\n\"UScensus2010tract_1.00.tar.gz\",\r\n\"UScensus2010blkgrp_1.00.tar.gz\",\r\n# \"UScensus2010cdp_1.00.tar.gz\", # currently not needed\r\n# \"UScensus2010blk_1.00.tar.gz\", # currently not needed\r\n\"UScensus2010_0.11.zip\"\r\n), repos = NULL, type = \"source\")\r\n```\r\n\r\nAssuming you've installed the [shiny package][2] and that **shinyapp** is a folder in your working directory, run:\r\n\r\n```\r\nshiny::runApp(\"shinyapp\")\r\n```\r\n\r\nStill need to add the remaining census variables because Total Population and Population Density are not the most exciting to study. ***I'll be adding features over time.*** For example, I'm considering incorporating the Public Use Microdata Sample files from the American Community Survey (PUMS ACS)...eventually.\r\n\r\nCheers!\r\n\r\n[1]: http://lakshmi.calit2.uci.edu/census2000/\r\n[2]: https://github.com/rstudio/shiny\r\n[3]: https://github.com/bearloga/2010-US-Census-Shiny-App/blob/master/preview.png?raw=true\r\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbearloga%2F2010-us-census-shiny-app","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fbearloga%2F2010-us-census-shiny-app","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbearloga%2F2010-us-census-shiny-app/lists"}
