FIPS - Get unique blockgroup fips in or containing specified fips of any type

Source: R/fips_bgs_in_fips.R
fips_bgs_in_fips.Rd

Convert any FIPS codes to the FIPS of all the blockgroups that are among or within or containing those FIPS

Usage

fips_bgs_in_fips(fips)

Arguments

fips

vector of US FIPS codes, as character or numeric, with or without their leading zeroes, each with as many characters

Value

vector of blockgroup FIPS (or NA values) that may be much longer than the vector of fips passed to this function.

Details

This is a way to get a list of blockgroups, specified by state/county/tract or even block.

Takes a vector of one or more FIPS that could be State (2-digit), County (5-digit), Tract (11-digit), or blockgroup (12 digit), or even block (15-digit fips).

Returns unique vector of FIPS of all US blockgroups (including DC and Puerto Rico) that contain any specified blocks, are equal to any specified blockgroup fips, or are contained within any provided tract/county/state FIPS.
