Description

```r
data(zips)
sum(names(zips) == "area")
# [1] 2
```

This makes using {dplyr} with it more onerous. They are not identical:

```r
head(zips[abs(zips[[3]] - zips[[6]]) > 1e-5, ])
# lon lat area plotOrder lineOrder area perimeter zip lonCent latCent

Research direction

Start from the data(zips) entry point and locate the package source or bundled data that defines zips. Inspect the duplicated area columns and their provenance, then check any data-related validation or package tests; done means the dataset has one clearly named area column without changing the other zip geometry fields.
