Like below?

plot(density(oh$FINCP,weights=oh$PWGTP/sum(oh$PWGTP)))

I don't understand why you are asking for approval. You are the one with the data and know where they came from. We have none of that background.

I'm trying to create a density plot using census data, where the
weights don't sum to 1.


plot(density(oh$FINCP,weights=oh$PWGTP))


Warning message:
In density.default(oh$FINCP, weights = oh$PWGTP) :
 sum(weights) != 1  -- will not get true density


How would I go about doing this?

Wouldn't you just divide by the sum?
