Update delphi_utils.geomapper to 2020 FIPS population data #1319

@dshemetov

Description

@dshemetov

Actual Behavior:

We're currently using the 2019 population estimates for counties.

Expected behavior

Should use the 2020 population estimates. It would be good to sanity check the new population file:

  • deleted counties
  • new counties
  • check for large population changes (>10% ratio delta since 2019?)

Context

delphi_utils currently uses the 2019 FIPS population estimates from the Census, but looks like 2020 estimates have been available since April 1st. The 2019 estimates still used the pre-split county, but 2020 provides pop estimates for the new ones.

From here.
