# Calculate the share of CT population below poverty and below 2x poverty
# (numerators), out of all residents for whom poverty status is determined
# (denominator)

  endyear = 2015, table.number = "C17002", col.names = "pretty")
pov_status_determined <- poverty[, 1]
pov_groups <- list(
  below_poverty = 2:3,
  low_income = 2:7
)
share_in_poverty <- calc_acs_table(pov_groups,
  pov_status_determined, poverty_table)
