A dataset containing life expectancy at certain ages by race, hispanic origin and sex 
for the United States, 2013.

datasets

Provides access to curated American Community Survey (ACS) base tables via a wrapper
to library(acs). Builds synthetic micro-datasets at any user-specified geographic level with
ten default attributes; and, conducts spatial microsimulation modeling (SMSM) via simulated
annealing. SMSM is conducted in parallel by default. Lastly, we provide functionality for
data-extensibility of micro-datasets <doi:10.18637/jss.v104.i07>.
