pull_population

Pull ACS data for a specified geography from base tables
B01001, B01002, B02001, B06007, B06008, B06009, B06010, B06011, AND B06012.
These tables reference population counts by a number of slices.
Multiple additional fields, mainly percentages and aggregations, are calculated.

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>.
