State Demographics is not time oriented

[acbart]

Where can we get time data for state demographics? It's too small as is.

This is definitely going to require some tricky interpolation.

I guess we should go down the API route. Let's see where that ends up taking us, I suppose. Either way, this will certainly be a mess of a dataset.

So, the API has a certain range of features available. The most sailent ones seem to be...

• State (all 50 states)
• Year (2010, 2000, 1990) - we will want to interpolate to get years in between, and possibly the decade prior?
• Sex
• Age
• Race
• Household size (Group Quarters, Nursing Homes, etc.)
• Marital Status (married, single)
• Educational attainment (high school, professional school, none)
• Enrolled in
• Health conditions
• Number of babies
• How they got to work
• Employer type
• Income and type
