In American English, the term "socioeconomic" is typically written as a single word. However, in British English, it is also acceptable to use the hyphenated form "socio-economic", so it should not be considered an error.

If it takes a while, I can create another pull request where I simply delete the line from dictionary.txt.
Let me know if you're okay with it.

But then most mainstream curated dictionaries accept both, with socioeconomic as the suggested primary spelling.

Finally, Google Ngram Viewer does show socioeconomic in wider use in US English and socio-economic in slightly wider use in GB English.

This is confusing. Perhaps we should accept both and remove these lines.
