i think a good path forward here would be to incorporate the data from the census planning database which has nationwide tabulations of tracts and blockgroups for most variables of interest. Our current tooling to process ACS data has trouble with some specific geographies from the census api that cause breakage and this would skirt that issue, but we need to double check for consistency in the formulas (currrently ours are defined by those used in LTDB)
our newer tooling collects geodatabases from the census FTP and processes those, so no need to interface with cenpy directly
the formulas are updated in #205 but i need to push a new version to the quilt bucket. Before that happens, i need to look further into https://github.com/cenpy-devs/cenpy/issues/95
