Looking to create tables in R using VariableIDs, I have no problem finding the variables for the year 2019, however, the variable IDs for the previous years (2018, 2017,...,2009) are different. Does anyone knows how to find those variable IDs??
Examples:
Total_OppositeSex_Marriage_19 <- get_acs(geography = "US", variable = "B09019_010", survey = "acs1", year = 2019)
Total_OppositeSex_Marriage_18 <- get_acs(geography = "US", variable = ""???", survey = "acs1", year = 2018)
Thank you!!
They are usually the same, but to be sure, you can check out the table shells in the summary file documentation here:

JamieRae , thank you! I though that the variables were the same until I realized that starting in 2019 they changed. Variables from 2018 to 2009 I think are the same but so far I haven't find that specific information about "Marriages" from those years.
Thank you for the recommendation, it's greatly appreciated!
