Refreshes the bundled fixture corpus against the upstream resolver fix (gate place-less fallback to states/counties only) and the Phase O extended FIPS xwalk (post-2012 incorporations, Utah metro townships, Connecticut planning regions). After regeneration: - Salt Lake County now resolves to 20 distinct cities/townships instead of collapsing six into Midvale's canonical_govid. - Zero govs with conflicting populations within (year, canonical_govid). - 593 new fips_extended canonical_govids in the xwalk (377 cities, 214 townships, 2 counties). - Sentinel count drops from 20-39/year to 2-3/year (the residual reflects type-2/3 entities with GOVS legacy_id but no FIPS triplet — a separate gap, documented in cog_pipeline). manifest.json updated with fresh SHAs, sizes, row counts, and pipeline commit reference. All 283 uscogdata tests pass against the new fixture.
uscogdata
Curated R reader for the Civilytics US Census of Governments finance corpus.
Provides unit-level financial profiles, geographic rollups, and peer comparisons with auditable provenance and built-in cross-vintage correctness. Reads the published corpus (Hive-partitioned parquet + manifest.json) directly from Nextcloud via DuckDB httpfs — no local bulk downloads required.
Status
Under active development (Phase 2 of the cog_pipeline project). See
../cog_pipeline/docs/reader-specification.md for the reader contract this
package implements.
Installation
# pak::pkg_install("gitea.civilytics.org/Civilytics/uscogdata")
Configuration
USCOGDATA_URL— corpus root URL (public Nextcloud share, trailing slash)USCOGDATA_CACHE_DIR— optional override for the manifest cache directoryUSCOGDATA_MANIFEST_TTL_SECS— optional manifest re-fetch TTL (default 3600)
Developer notes
Testing
The package ships a bundled fixture corpus at inst/extdata/fixture_corpus/ —
a 3.6 MB two-year slice (2019 + 2020) of the full corpus covering all 50
states. tests/testthat/setup.R automatically points USCOGDATA_URL at this
fixture, so the full test suite runs offline with no network dependency:
devtools::test() # uses bundled fixture, no credentials required
Releasing against the live corpus
Before cutting a release, run the test suite against the published corpus to catch any drift between the fixture and the real data:
Sys.setenv(USCOGDATA_URL = "<published-corpus-url-with-trailing-slash>")
devtools::test()
When the live-corpus run is clean, strip the fixture from the built package by
adding this line to .Rbuildignore:
^inst/extdata/fixture_corpus$
The test suite is URL-agnostic — setup.R falls back to USCOGDATA_URL when
the bundled fixture is absent, so no test code changes are needed for the
release run or after stripping the fixture.
