dep_build_varlist(geography, index, year, survey = "acs5", output = "vector")

Arguments

geography	A character scalar; one of "state", "county", or "tract"
index	A character scalar or vector listing deprivation measures to return. These include the area deprivation index ("adi"), the gini coefficient ("gini"), two versions of the neighborhood deprivation index by Messer ("ndi_m") and Powell and Wiley ("ndi_pw"), and four versions of the social vulnerability index ("svi10", "svi14", "svi20", and "svi20s").
