Column name variability - MET_CODE versus METCODE

Open daniel-simeone opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

The function get_cmhc_geography appears to have differerent column names for the METCODE depending on the level of geography selected. The ZONE level is called MET_CODE while the MET level is called METCODE. The latter looks like it might be hardcoded in the internal function census_to_cmhc_geocode, while the former may come from the gdb files.

library(tidyverse)
library(cmhc)
get_cmhc_geography("ZONE") %>%  select(starts_with("MET") )
get_cmhc_geography("MET") %>%    select(starts_with("MET") )
