A dataset containing multiple birth rate data by race of the mother. Data for all 
races is provided for 1980-2014 and for individual races from 1990-2014.

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>.
