get_decennial: geometry data download failed.
Closed this issue · 1 comments
Hi -
Tried this -
get_decennial(geography = "block", variables = "P001001", year = 2000, sumfile = "sf1", state = 'CA', county = '037', geometry = T)
Response -
Getting data from the 2000 decennial Census
Downloading feature geometry from the Census website. To cache shapefiles for use in future sessions, set options(tigris_use_cache = TRUE).
Using FIPS code '06' for state 'CA'
Using Census Summary File 1

The temp file is located at C:\Users\*****\AppData\Local\Temp\Rtmpm83m6r. It contains an empty zip archive tl_2010_06037_tabblock00.zip. I checked the Census Bureau ftp and found https://www2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2010/TABBLOCK/2000/tl_2010_06037_tabblock00.zip so the file seems to be available.
If I leave off geometry = T, the request returns data.
Any idea what's going on? Thanks!
I just ran your code successfully. My guess is that it was a connection hiccup on the Census side, or possibly on your side (blocks can be a hefty download). Give it another try and see if it'll work.
