<p>A few weeks ago I announced my latest project: <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.arilamstein.com/?feed-stats-url=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYXJpbGFtc3RlaW4uY29tL2Jsb2cvMjAxNy8xMS8xMy9uZXctcHJvamVjdC1kYXRhLXNjaWVuY2UtaW5zdHJ1Y3Rpb24tdXMtY2Vuc3VzLWJ1cmVhdS8%3D&feed-stats-url-post-id=6835" target="_blank">Data Science instruction at the Census Bureau</a>.</p>
<p>In addition to announcing the project, I also snuck a bit of market research into the post. I asked people the types of analyses they do when working with Census data. I also asked what packages they use when solving those problems.</p>
<p>23 people left comments, and they have been very helpful in shaping the curriculum of the course. Thank you to everyone who left a comment!</p>
<p>That was such an effective way to learn about the community of R Census users that I’ve decided to do it again. If you are an R programmer who has worked with Census data, please leave a comment with an answer to this question:</p>
<p><strong>What is your biggest problem when working with Census data in R?</strong></p>
<p>Understanding the obstacles people face has the potential to help us design better courses.</p>
