Are people interested in having this work past 2019? #47

Hi! I'm considering building the variable files necessary to enable this to run on recent years (right now it only works through 2019), specifically (at least to start) the ones for the acs5 data. But before setting out to tackle that mountain, I wanted to check if other people would be interested in that. Go ahead and just comment/like/whatever if you think you would use that. Thanks!

I have moved on to other tools. The flaw in the code is that it requires yearly updates even though the formatting of the new yearly data is largely the same as earlier years.

My colleagues and I had been using this project until it stopped being maintained. We built censusdis as an alternative. One of its features is that it does not require annual updates.
