The bisg_prep_race_predict function currently takes any NA values outputted by BISG, and sets them equal to zero.
The WRU predict_race function outputs NA only when geographic data can't be found for a Census block. Thus, a workaround for this, instead of setting values equal to zero, is to re-run BISG at a higher Census geographic area (tract for block, county for tract, etc.).
