get_tract_demographics

The data comes from the American Community Survey (ACS). The variables are: total population, percent White 
not Hispanic, Percent Black or African American not Hispanic, percent Asian not Hispanic,
percent Hispanic all races, per-capita income, median rent and median age.

Choropleths are thematic maps where geographic regions, such as
states, are colored according to some metric, such as the number of people
who live in that state. This package simplifies this process by 1.
Providing ready-made functions for creating choropleths of common maps. 2.
Providing data and API connections to interesting data sources for making
choropleths. 3. Providing a framework for creating choropleths from
arbitrary shapefiles. 4. Overlaying those maps over reference maps from
Google Maps.
