Conflicting variable labels when using keep_geo_vars = T

[cottierf]

Hi,

Thanks for outstanding piece of software.

One issue, albeit minor, I noted is when requesting additional geography variables provided by Tigris using the option keep_geo_vars, there is variable labels conflict in the resulting dataset.

In effect, the output dataset contains two "NAME" variables: [NAME.x] and [NAME.y]. The content of these two variables vary depending on the geography level, but [NAME.y] is generally more complete. Would it be possible to solve this issue, by either reconciling the labels or dropping one of the two variables?

minimal example:

library(tidycensus)
library(tigris)

data <- tidycensus::get_decennial(
  geography = "tract",
  state = "AL",
  variables =  "P1_001N",
  year = 2020,
  geometry = T,
  keep_geo_vars = T, output = "wide"
)
