Description

Official Gridded Data from the German Census 2022.

Description

Provides fast and easy access to German census grid data from the 2011 and 2022 censuses <https://www.zensus2022.de/>, including a wide range of socio-economic indicators at multiple spatial resolutions (100m, 1km, 10km). Enables efficient download, processing, and analysis of large census datasets covering population, households, families, dwellings, and buildings. Harmonized data structures allow direct comparison with the 2011 census, supporting temporal and spatial analyses. Facilitates conversion of data into common formats for spatial analysis and mapping ('terra', 'sf', 'ggplot2').

z22

As part of the German census, a number of socio-economic indicators are published at a small-scale grid level (100m, 1km, 10km). Usually the corresponding data files are very large and hard to work with. {z22} aims to quickly and efficiently retrieve German census grid data. The package also eases comparisons to grid data from the census 2011 by establishing a standardized feature format.

Powered by the z22data data repository which hosts the census grid data in small and digestible chunks. Based on the predecessor package z11 which allows easy access to the gridded data from the Census 2011.

Installation

You can install the development version of z22 like so:

pak::pkg_install("jslth/z22")

Example

The package contains a main function, z22_data, to retrieve and process census grid data. The following example downloads a feature grid on the vacancy share in Germany at a 1x1 km resolution.

library(z22)
library(terra)

grid_vac <- z22_data("vacancies", res = "10km", rasterize = TRUE)
grid_vac
#> class       : SpatRasterDataset 
#> subdatasets : 1 
#> dimensions  : 87, 65 (nrow, ncol)
#> nlyr        : 1 
#> resolution  : 10000, 10000  (x, y)
#> extent      : 4035000, 4685000, 2685000, 3555000  (xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax)
#> coord. ref. : ETRS89-extended / LAEA Europe (EPSG:3035) 
#> source(s)   : memory 
#> names       : cat_0

Code for the plot

library(ggplot2)

df_vac <- z22_pivot_longer(grid_vac, "vacancies")
ggplot(df_vac) +
  geom_tile(aes(x, y, fill = value)) +
  coord_sf(crs = 3035) + 
  facet_wrap(~category, nrow = 2) +
  scale_fill_viridis_c("Share", na.value = "transparent", transform = "log2") +
  theme_bw() +
  labs(x = NULL, y = NULL) +
  theme(panel.grid = element_blank(), axis.text = element_blank())
