I'll start by loading my packages on lines one through three and I'm going to read in some shape files on line five using the read sf function. And if I take this object and print it to the console we can see it's a simple feature collection. We've several columns and we've got a region column division and the state name column are three columns. I want to highlight. And we're also going to import a CSV file that contains populations for each state. So for one line seven, and I print this object to a console you can see that we've got the column state and population. Now I want to join these two data sets together. And so I'm going to create a new object to contain this joined data set called 'US state pop'. And whenever we are joining sf objects we must start with an sf object first. So we'll take US states, I'll pipe it into the function, left join, and we're…
