This week's data is from the Department of Education courtesy of Alex Albright.
Data idea comes from Dignity and Debt who is running a contest around data viz for understanding and spreading awareness around Student Loan debt.
There are already some gorgeous plots in the style of DuBois.
I have uploaded the raw data and the clean data - definitely a nice dive into some data cleansing if you want to have a go at the raw Excel files.
loans <- readr::read_csv("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rfordatascience/tidytuesday/master/data/2019/2019-11-26/loans.csv")
# Or read in with tidytuesdayR package (https://github.com/dslc-io/tidytuesdayR)
# Either ISO-8601 date or year/week works!
# Install via pak::pak("dslc-io/tidytuesdayR")
tuesdata <- tidytuesdayR::tt_load("2019-11-26")
tuesdata <- tidytuesdayR::tt_load(2019, week = 48)
loans <- tuesdata$loans
