Description: Computes various geospatial indices of socioeconomic
        deprivation and disparity in the United States. Some indices
        are considered "spatial" because they consider the values of
        neighboring (i.e., adjacent) census geographies in their
        computation, while other indices are "aspatial" because they
        only consider the value within each census geography. Two types
        of aspatial neighborhood deprivation indices (NDI) are
        available, including: (1) based on Messer et al. (2006)
        <doi:10.1007/s11524-006-9094-x> and (2) based on Andrews et al.
        (2020) <doi:10.1080/17445647.2020.1750066> and Slotman et al.
        (2022) <doi:10.1016/j.dib.2022.108002> who use variables chosen
        by Roux and Mair (2010) <doi:10.1111/j.1749-6632.2009.05333.x>.
        Both are a decomposition of multiple demographic
        characteristics from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community
        Survey 5-year estimates (ACS-5; 2006-2010 onward). Using data
        from the ACS-5 (2005-2009 onward), the package can also compute
        indices of racial or ethnic residential segregation, including
        but limited to those discussed in Massey & Denton (1988)
        <doi:10.1093/sf/67.2.281>, and additional indices of
        socioeconomic disparity.
