Examples

library(ggplot2)
library(dplyr)
# Sum cases & population for each county
lung_cancer_rate <- pennLC_sf %>% 
  group_by(county) %>% 
  summarize(cases = sum(cases), population = sum(population)) %>% 
  mutate(rate = cases/population)

# Static map of Pennsylvania lung cancer rates for each county
if (FALSE) {
ggplot() +
  geom_sf(data = lung_cancer_rate, aes(fill = rate))
