The Institute of Statistics and Informatics (INEI, by its acronym in Spanish) of Peru carried out the last census on 2017. This census data can be queried in the 2017 Census RADATAM platform.
Usage
data(migration17raw)Format
A untidy data frame which resulted from reading an Excel file without formatting or setting column names, and containing the information about migration described above.
Details
This data set is obtained by reading the downloaded report generated by querying
the question Distrito o país donde vivía hace 5 años (District or country
where you used to live 5 years ago) at a district level without setting column names
readxl::read_excel(<report-filepath>, col_names = FALSE). The downloaded report
is an Excel file containing metadata about the query and a list for every district
with all the districts or countries given as a answer for this question and
their frequencies (number of people living in district A that used to live in
district B 5 years ago). Thus, we have 5-year migration information for all
the 1874 districts in Peru, which has to be processed to be in a tidy
origin-destination format.
The function get_od_data in this package aids to the processing
of this kind of reports from the Peru census of 2017.
