Take a look at the R-shiny app below. You can use the map to see the median income distribution in the USA from ACS data.
How you can build a useful Shiny application in R is almost magical, with virtually no web development experience.
Just a few lines of code and voila!
The API key to access ACS data was created through
https://api.census.gov/data/key_signup.html
The map is made interactive by the use of the leaflet package of R.
The theme is custom-made using the bslib package of R.
Use the form inputs to specify the geographical levels, the variable of interest, and the State, and get the distribution of household median income
(R and Rstudio; Shiny, tidycensus, mapview, leaflet, dotenv, bslib)
