Update zip code/congressional district relationships (fixes #29)
Updated congressional districts using the Census' "National 2020 118th Congressional District to 2020 Zip Code Tabulation Area (ZCTA) Relationship File" (https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/rel2020/cd-sld/tab20_cd11820_zcta520_natl.txt) accessed on Sept. 19, 2023.
I obtained the updated listing using the following code to convert the downloaded relationship file to have the same structure as the existing zip_to_cd.rda
file:
library(tidyverse)
zip_to_cd <- read_delim("./tab20_cd11820_zcta520_natl.txt") %>%
select(GEOID_ZCTA5_20, GEOID_CD118_20) %>%
rename(ZIP = GEOID_ZCTA5_20, CD = GEOID_CD118_20) %>%
filter(!is.na(ZIP))
This update fixes Issue #29 by utilizing updated congressional district mappings.
