Excerpt from vignette: There are two major functions implemented in tidycensus: get_decennial, which grants access to the 1990, 2000, and 2010 decennial US Census APIs, and get_acs, which grants access to the 5-year American Community Survey APIs.

Horizontal dot-and-whisker plot showing household income estimates by county in Vermont from the 2017–2021 American Community Survey. Each county is listed on the y-axis, with Grand Isle at the top and Essex at the bottom. The x-axis shows income in dollars. Red dots represent ACS income estimates, and black horizontal lines indicate the margin of error. Grand Isle has the highest estimate near $90,000, and Essex the lowest, below $50,000.
