Useful webinar "Analyzing Data from the 2023 American Community Survey in R" by Kyle Walker just finished. Think recordings will be available later.

Using {tidycensus} for working with USA census data. Has a nice worked example of adding error bars to a plot to show margin of error and polishing the visuals. And generally mapping the census data and using microdata.
