Arguments

year

A four-digit year for the five-year ACS estimates (default 2022).

An optional ACS table code (e.g., "B22003") to filter results to a single table.

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
## Browse all variables
get_acs_codebook()

## Filter to a specific table
get_acs_codebook(table = "B22003")

## Search for variables by keyword
get_acs_codebook() %>% dplyr::filter(stringr::str_detect(variable_clean, "snap"))
} # }
