I’m excited to share a new County Health Explorer, an interactive R #Shiny application for #mapping and analyzing public health data across U.S. counties.

The app integrates two national datasets:
County Health Rankings & Roadmaps and CDC
Code is on GitHub at

JOLTS State Explorer
I saw a post on LInkedin yesterday using @usbls.bsky.social JOLTS data, so I made a #Shiny app to display the monthly employment and hiring data for states, and for all states in a map.
The app is here: corey-sparks.shinyapps.io/jolts_state_...
and the code is on github
github.com/coreysparks/...

For those of you interested in accessing U.S. Census Bureau data from data.census.gov during the government shutdown, the Census APIs are still working.
Here is an example of how to access the Census API using both #Rstats and #Python

I was just excited that somebody responded. after the heyday of Twitter a few years ago, where this type of thing happened every single day I was worried that the community wasn’t really around anymore.

I typically enjoy a janky solution but this is for a project where I'm trying to teach new R users, so may not this time

this puts the vector notation in front of the output, and adds an extra r in there
knitr::inline_expr('r mean(1:10)', "md")

Close! if I use
`{{r}} r mean(1:10)`
I get this:
{r} r mean(1:10)
but what I want is
r mean(1:10)

ok, dumb #rstats question. I'm using #quarto and i want to print some inline R code in my HTML report, but I DON'T want it to actually run the code
I want it to be like this in the report:
`r mean(1:10)`

Question for the group.
If you are in a job and there is basically no way of moving upwards in your organization, what would you do?

Hey #rstats and #quarto folks, I'm building a quarto dashboard and using a gt table to show a reactive dataframe. The problem is that when I select the filter, the table keeps getting large and larger, has anyone else seen this? TIA
