As a developer, I want to visualize ACS demographic data on my map.

Description This is similar to #100, in that we need to use the most recent ACS data to visualize demographic indicators at the block group level on the map. Start with the following and we will adjust or add after we meet with advisor group:

• [ ] % Poverty
• [ ] % Less than high-school education

Solution A clear and concise description of the solution.

Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

Links to user research or other resources

Tasks

• [ ] Ask EJScreen for their scripts on these for reference
• [ ] Process this data and make available in a usable format, ideally on geoplatform server

Definition of "Done"

• [ ] View ACS demographic indicators on the map at the census block group level (locally or in prod)

Open question: Do the Census Block Groups in the most recent ACS correspond to the CBGs in the 2010 TIGER data? How frequently do these boundaries change?

@switzersc-usds Census geographies are updated every 10 years, with completion of the decennial census https://2020census.gov/en/news-events/press-releases/2020-census-geographic-products.html

The TIGER/Line files for 2020 can be found at https://www.census.gov/geographies/mapping-files/time-series/geo/tiger-line-file.html

Thanks @mikelmaron !

This will involve joining the ACS data with the CBG data in the geojson.

From @lucasmbrown-usds: LESSHS count of individuals age 25 or over with less than high school degree LOWINCPCT % low-income

Also from the column description file: ACSTOTPOP Total

We're able to merge the data but it's not ready to be demoed yet.
