Makes an ACS table for a list of neighborhoods

1 2	neighborhood_table(neighborhood_list, table.number, year = 2015, state = 9, county = 9, blocks = F)

`neighborhood_list`	A nested list of lists of tracts (and, optionally, block groups). Each outer list item should be given the name of its neighborhood, and each inner list item must have a FIPS code for a tract, with the name "tract"; see details for setup
`table.number`	String corresponding to an ACS table number; this is case-sensitive
`year`	Endyear of ACS estimates as a four-digit integer
`state`	Either a number corresponding to the state's FIPS code, or a string with the state's two-letter abbreviation or full name
`county`	Either a number corresponding to the county's FIPS code (safer), or a string with the county's name. Defaults to 09, FIPS code for New Haven County, Connecticut
`blocks`	Logical. If `TRUE`, expects to find named entries of block groups. Defaults to `FALSE`, meaning list items only contain tract codes

make_neighborhood requires a nested list of lists structure. For neighborhoods that specify block groups, this should take the form:

1
2
3

dixwell <- list(
  list( tract = 141600, block.group = 1:4 )
)

For neighborhoods with only tracts specified:

1
2
3

dixwell <- list(
  list( tract = 141600 )
)

Lists are nested to allow for neighborhoods spanning multiple tracts that may need to be paired with their block groups. Example:

downtown <- list(
  list(tract = 140100, block.group = 1),
  list(tract = 361401, block.group = 1:3),
  list(tract = 361402, block.group = 1:2)
)

Returns an acs-class object, as is standard from the acs package.

beaver_hills_bg <- list(
  list(tract = 141400, block.group = 1:4),
  list(tract = 141300, block.group = 2)
)
beaver_hills_pop <- neighborhood_table(beaver_hills_bg, "B01003", blocks = T)
