The American Community Survey (ACS) <https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs> offers geodatabases with geographic information and associated data of interest to researchers in the area. The goal of this package is to generate objects that allow us to access and consult the information available in various formats, such as in 'GeoPackage' format or in multidimensional 'ROLAP' (Relational On-Line Analytical Processing) star format.
