There are a lot of changes & new features coming to #rstats #tidycensus in April; you can try out the new features now with `remotes::install_github("walkerke/tidycensus")`. Read on in this thread to get up to speed on the updates: github.com/walkerke/tidyc… 
`get_acs()` and `get_pums()` now both default to the brand-new 5-year American Community Survey estimates. If you need other years, be sure to use the `year` argument to get data for that year
However, the 1-year ACS experimental estimates _are not_ available in tidycensus, and requesting them will throw an error. If you need 1-year ACS data, be sure to explicitly request data for a different year using the `year` argument
