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.
