Fix: Use non-Hispanic data for Black, Asian, and other race estimates #146

Closed rossellhayes closed 7 months ago

rossellhayes commented 8 months ago

This PR updates the tables pulled by census_geo_api(). It will now pull non-Hispanic tables to estimate Black, Asian, and other race populations. Previously, Hispanic respondents could be double counted because they may count towards both the Hispanic population and the Black, Asian, or other race populations of a geography.

Fixes #145.

We also did some due diligence by comparing estimates at state level to TargetSmart Voter File Race and CPS 2022 targets. They look better than previous, with the black and hispanic registered voters having more reasonable proportions. I'm going to merge this branch, then submit as a bugfix to CRAN.
