    1. Good Ole Massachusetts. The apartment we rent (2nd floor of a house) was built in 1924. Same with the entire street really and all over.

      Mother’s house in central MA was 1956

    2. Data: American Community Survey accessed via API using tidycensus package in R
      Tools: R
      packages for data wrangling: dplyr, stringr
      packages for mapping/shapefiles: colorspace, scales, sf, ggplot2, ggfx, grid, usmap, tigris (for PR shapefile)
      packages for fonts: sysfonts, showtext

    3. I know you’re going for an aesthetic, but in some smaller counties it’s hard to tell 70s or 80s.
