Plotting to shapefile region with ggplot / ggmap

Question

I have a shapefile showing the map of England with regions mapped on it:

England <- readOGR(dsn = "...")

England.fort <- fortify(England, region='regionID') 
England.fort <-England.fort[order(England.fort$order), ] 

giving me England.fort:

England.fort
>long
>lat
>order
>hole
>piece
>id      #contains the region IDs
>group   #contains the region IDs
>Total   #I want to plot this

Shapefile from here: https://geoportal.statistics.gov.uk/Docs/Boundaries/Local_authority_district_(GB)_2014_Boundaries_(Generalised_Clipped).zip

I want to plot the regions showing the total number of people in each:

p <- ggplot(data=England.fort, aes(x=long, y=lat, group=group, fill="Total")) + 
     geom_polygon(colour='black', fill='white') + theme_bw()

But It gives me a blank map off England with all the regions white.

Answer 1

ggplot(data=England.fort, aes(x=long, y=lat, group=group, Fill=Total)) + 
          geom_polygon() +
          theme_bw()

Does the trick. Thanks
