I'm working on a survey that we are missing some demographic information on. My advisor geocoded my database and gave me back everyone's census_block_group_id_2010 and census_track_2010 however he didnt explain how to link this database to tidycensus (using program R). All the guides im seeing are how to pull data at a city, state, federal level, but I want the data for these specific IDs. (ex: census_track_2010 = 3.1109E+11)

There are 7500 of them, so I'd rather do the whole Excel file and not each ID individually. Apologies for the vagueness of the question, as prior to today I've never heard of tidycensus or how it works.

Thank you

    The first two digits of the tract / block group ID codes will be the state code. You can use this to pull state-specific data with tidycensus. Read this chapter for how to get started: https://walker-data.com/census-r/an-introduction-to-tidycensus.html – kwalkertcu Sep 26 '22 at 13:42
