With the most robust rail network in the American Midwest, Chicago has the 2nd largest number of car-free households of any metro area (behind only NYC)
Most of those households live around the L, especially the Red Line and western parts of the Blue & Green Lines

Any #rstats folks interested in testing out a package for SQL linting in R workflows?
I made a package that wraps SQLFluff into R with reticulate. I've tried it on a few machines I own but would appreciate some experimentation before I try to send it to CRAN.

There are a number of issues with this analysis but I found one that I haven't seen anyone else mention: Kaufmann estimates gender ID from the FIRE data without using the survey weights
When the weights are used as designed, the evidence for his core claim disappears

🚀 I made a tracker that shows when the Census Bureau adds or removes datasets from their APIs.
Dashboard at www.hrecht.com/census-api-d... and follow @censusapitracker.bsky.social for major updates.
I've been wanting to build this for years but now seemed an especially important time to keep track.

#TidyTuesday week 26 - It ain't much but it's honest work.
I chose to look at the average differences in prices between conventional and reformulated gasoline -- which honestly I have not ever thought much about! Interesting to see such differences increase over the years. #rstats #dataviz

Put together this (probably overkill) #TidyTuesday CLI tool to browse data sets and create template scripts. Maybe this will motivate me to participate more 😅

Does anybody in the #rstats world have advice on using a custom docx template with Quarto? I’m looking to be able to customize the header of the docx from the qmd too.

1. Make up for the cut, at a cost of $626 billion over a decade.
2. Rollback the expansion, leading to 20 million people losing Medicaid.
