It would be really helpful to add state legislative districts (upper and lower) as standard geographies in Business Analyst.
State legislative districts are available as geographies through the U.S. Census and when exploring data.census.gov ACS 5 year data is available for legislative districts.
Because the legislative districts are not available as standard geographies in Business Analyst the app uses census tracts to calculate values for the districts when using ACS data which results in a different estimate than what is on the Census Bureau website.
It's possible to extract the data from the Census Bureau website and publish it as a map layer to pull it in to Business Analyst but at that point you lose the comparison geography ability in infographics and the data can't be used in comparison reports either. Being able to see the legislative district values relative to the state is particularly valuable.
