Customizing ggplot2 visualizations of ACS data

While the ggplot2 defaults are excellent for exploratory visualization of data, you'll likely want to customize your charts before sharing them with others. In this exercise, you'll customize your tidycensus dot plot by modifying the chart colors, tick labels, and axis labels. You'll also learn how to format labels using the scales package, as label formatters can be imported using the :: syntax.
