[acs-r] table B15002H

[Ezra Haber Glenn]

>From what I can tell, the B15002X tables (e.g., B15002A, B15002B,
B15002H, etc.) are not available via the census API, and thus not
available through the acs package.  You can get this data via
factfinder and import it to R.

However, there is a "C15002X" version with all the A, B, C options
(i.e., C15002, C15002A, C15002H, etc.) -- pretty much the same data,
but the educational levels are grouped a bit (fewer categories).
Compare
<https://factfinder.census.gov/faces/affhelp/jsf/pages/metadata.xhtml?lang=en&type=table&id=table.en.ACS_15_5YR_B15002#main_content>
and
<https://factfinder.census.gov/faces/affhelp/jsf/pages/metadata.xhtml?lang=en&type=table&id=table.en.ACS_15_5YR_C15002H#main_content>.

Hope that helps.
