##Processing
ACS data for Missouri was retrieved with a Python script from the Census API.
The census tract data is available by county for all counties in Missouri. The script extracted the data for all counties in Missouri. 
Each field represents an estimate from the Census for a particular variable, as noted in the Fields section above.
For MEDN_INC21, not all units have values and are recorded as -666666666 by the Census. These are stored as null values in this file, if applicable.
The data were then merged on the GEOID with a corresponding TIGER shapefile.
