Noticed that imputer_race_alt.collapse_cell("inc_col == '>= 50% FPL' & famrace_col_alt == 'All black' & agegroup_col == '35 or older'") triggered a 'successful' outcome when the wrong famrace variable was indexed. This might be something worth looking into. When variables input to the imputer differ from the variables defining cell definitions, this is possible... Not sure why.
