kc_pop_data: King County population estimates

In nmmarquez/smoothHP: Forecasting using the Inoue modified HP method

King County population estimates

Description

A data set containing population estimates of King County, Washington census tracts by age, race, ethnicity, and sex. Pulled from the Office of Finance and Management. The value column contains the population estimate for a particular demographic group. These numbers are not integers and OFM states the following: OFM leaves the data in decimals for two reasons. First, we want the results to total to control numbers correctly and rounding would make that impossible. Second, we want to remind users that these data are estimates only and not actual enumerations.
