[R-sig-Geo] US census shape files

[Andrew Niccolai]

I haven't looked at this site in years but as I recall the US Census blocks
can be found as TIGER files at the following website:
http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/

I have not brought these files into R, but I have converted them in ArcGIS
therefore I'm sure they can be formatted for use in R.

Good luck

Hello,
(I apologize if this is a rather trivial question)
I have been searching the US census Web site for shapefiles that describe
the boundaries of the census blocks polygons used but have been unsuccessful
so far.

Might anyone be able to point me in the right direction ?

Thanks !

Markus
