#' Washington Region Population estimates of MSM 15-65 from ACS and Gray data.
#'
#' This data is used in the process of reweighting our sample to be
#' representative of washington MSM. These values are derived by
#' multiplying the proportion of individuals in each region
#' who are MSM by the number of males 15-65 in each region (from ACS).
#'
#' More information about the MSM estimates can be found
#' in [this paper](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4873305/),
#' at the [CAMP Website](http://www.campmodeling.org/index.php), and
#' data can be downloaded [here](http://www.campmodeling.org/index.php).
#'
#' We are currently working to update documentation on the ACS data.  While
#' much of the data was taken from the ACS website American Fact Finder, this
#' system has been eliminated from the census's webpage, and it is still not clear
#' where to recover this data.
