Directory Descriptions

/data

• raw/: Contains original, unmodified data files. These should never be altered once added.
  • This directory is not included in the repository due to the size of the files. To download the raw data, run the code in R/00_data_process.R
• intermediate/: Stores partially processed data files and temporary outputs from processing steps.
  • qa.xlsx: Is a master dataset containing all data used in factsheets for quality assurance.
• processed/: Contains final, cleaned datasets that are used in the factsheets.
  • state_factsheets/: Contains state-level data for each state in the United States, disaggregated by county, district, size and subsector.
  • state_overviews/: Contains state-level data for the United States without disaggregations.
  • full_sample_processed.csv Contains the records for each return used in the final sample.

/R

• Contains all R code for data analysis, processing, and visualization. Scripts are numbered sequentially (e.g., 01_clean_data.R, 02_process_data.R) to indicate the order of execution. Helper functions are stored in separate scripts named after their primary function (e.g., calculate_metrics.R, plot_utilities.R).
• Also includes the .Rmd template for the factsheets. 02_national_factsheet.Rmd is the template for the national factsheet, while 03_state_factsheet.Rmd is the template for the state factsheets.

/docs

• Contains the HTML factsheets generated from the data analysis. Each factsheet is named according to the geography it covers (e.g. national, alabama etc.)
