- 1New R tool geomander untangles mismatched census and electoral maps●From Census Blocks to Legal Contiguity: Christopher T. Kenny on {geomander} Census blocks, precincts, school districts,
Christopher T. Kenny of Princeton has discussed geomander, an R package that helps researchers align geographic units such as census blocks, precincts, school districts and electoral boundaries, which rarely share the same borders. In an interview with the R Consortium, he explains how the tool prepares spatial data for redistricting analysis with the redist package, bridging the gap between raw census geography and legal contiguity requirements.
