[R] Households per Census block

[Anthony Damico]

hi, ccing the package maintainer.  one alternative is to pull the HU100
variable directly from the census bureau's summary files: that variable
starts at position 328 and ends at 336.  just modify this loop and you'll
get a table with one-record-per-census-block in every state.

(1) line 134 change the very last -9 to 9
(2) line 137 between "pop100" and "intptlat" add an "hu100"
