Dear readers, I downloaded a shapefile with data on crime incidents in Washington DC in 2016 (available here: https://opendata.dc.gov/datasets/crime-incidents-in-2016) and another shapefile with data on parks and recreation areas, also in Washington DC (available here: https://opendata.dc.gov/datasets/parks-and-recreation-areas). I was able to read both shapefiles using st_read() from the sf package. My question is, how can I merge the two data sets? I tried st_join() but it simply resulted in empty columns from the parks dataset getting added to the crime data. Any guidance would be much appreciated. library(sf) parks <- st_read("Parks_and_Recreation_Areas.shp") crime <- st_read("Crime_Incidents_in_2016.shp") df <- st_join(crime, parks)
