invalid FIPS code or state name/abbreviation

Closed this issue · 2 comments

I'm running into a problem with the census_tracts process:

Error: Invalid state In addition: Warning message: '69' is not a valid FIPS code or state name/abbreviation Execution halted

Is there a good way to identify the problematic address?

Unfortunately, there is not a good way to debug without shelling into the docker container and running the R code "natively". Based on the error message, I'm guessing that one of your geocodes is being assigned to a FIPS county with a state identifier of 69 (Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands) and then the "tigris" package in R cannot download the tract shapefile for this area since it is not in the us tracts shapefile.

Closing now since we haven't heard from you in awhile, but please reopen if the problem persists.
