Description: Computes various metrics of socio-economic deprivation and disparity in
             the United States. Some metrics are considered "spatial" because they 
             consider the values of neighboring (i.e., adjacent) census geographies in
             their computation, while other metrics 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; 2010 onward). Using data
             from the ACS-5 (2009 onward), the package can also (1) compute the spatial
             Racial Isolation Index (RI) based on Anthopolos et al. (2011)
             <doi:10.1016/j.sste.2011.06.002>, (2) compute the spatial Educational Isolation
             Index (EI) based on Bravo et al. (2021) <doi:10.3390/ijerph18179384>, 
             (3) compute the aspatial Index of Concentration at the Extremes (ICE) based on 
             Feldman et al. (2015) <doi:10.1136/jech-2015-205728> and Krieger et al. 
             (2016) <doi:10.2105/AJPH.2015.302955>, and (4) retrieve the aspatial Gini 
             Index based on Gini (1921) <doi:10.2307/2223319>.
