Calculating the proportion of US state borders that are coastlines

Read Original

This technical blog post details a data analysis project using R and the {sf} package to calculate what percentage of each US state's border is coastline. It explores the complexities of geospatial measurement, addresses the coastline paradox, and compares results across states, with a focus on Rhode Island's high coastline proportion. The article includes code, maps, and methodological discussion.
