nomisr

License: MIT CRAN_Status_Badge GitHub tag R build status Coverage Status ropensci DOI DOI

nomisr is for accessing UK official statistics from the Nomis database through R. Nomis contains data from the Census, the Labour Force Survey, DWP benefit statistics and other economic and demographic data, and is maintained on behalf of the Office for National Statistics by the University of Durham.

The nomisr package provides functions to find what data is available, the variables and query options for different datasets and a function for downloading data. nomisr returns data in tibble format. Most of the data available through nomisr is based around statistical geographies, with a handful of exceptions.

The package is for demographers, economists, geographers, public health researchers and any other researchers who are interested in geographic factors. The package aims to aid reproducibility, reduce the need to manually download area profiles, and allow easy linking of different datasets covering the same geographic area.

Installation

nomisr is available on CRAN:

install.packages("nomisr")

You can install the development version nomisr from github with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("ropensci/nomisr")

Using nomisr

nomisr contains functions to search for datasets, identify the query options for different datasets and retrieve data from queries, all done with tibbles, to take advantage of how tibble manages list-columns. The use of metadata queries, rather than simply downloading all available data, is useful to avoid overwhelming the rate limits of the API.

There are nomisr vignette introduction has details on all available functions and basic demonstrations of their use.

The example below demonstrates a workflow to retrieve the latest data on Jobseeker’s Allowance with rates and proportions, on a national level, with all male claimants and workforce.
