I'm Kyle Walker, an R developer working on packages to help improve your workflows with US Census Bureau and spatial data. I am actively developing the following packages:

tidycensus, which helps R users get demographic & spatial data from the US Census Bureau ready-to-go for use in their analyses;
tigris, which downloads US Census Bureau spatial data and loads it directly into R as simple features objects;
mapboxapi, an R interface to Mapbox web services. Use the package to optimize routes, draw isochrones, read and write vector tiles, use custom Mapbox maps in Leaflet projects, and more;
crsuggest, which gives R users projected coordinate system suggestions for their spatial datasets.

Please consider supporting this development work if you've found these packages useful; I commonly develop and maintain them in my spare time.
