Download and view a table of data from the ACS

Variables in the decennial Census and American Community Survey are organized into tables, within which they share a common prefix. Commonly, analysts will want to work with all variables in a given table, as these variables might represent different aspects of a common characteristic (such as race or income levels). To request data for an entire table in tidycensus, users can specify a table argument with the table prefix, and optionally cache a dataset of table codes to speed up table searching in future requests. In this exercise, you'll acquire a table of variables representing different income bands, then filter out the denominator rows.

For counties in Washington, download table "B19001" from the ACS using the table argument.
Check the variables you've acquired using the head() function.
