Helper IIIArcGIS map preview - UK census boundaries
When setting a location type of Boundary>>One Country>>UK>>CensusAreas to a map and setting the location as the LSOA code a map is drawn with a set of boundaries but the boundaries do not reflect the area and is drawn in London rather than West Yorkshire.
I can't find any documentation online to establish what Census Areas are supported.
Has anyone come across any details?
ESRI - is this a feature that is work in progress?
Thanks

saj,
Could you please share sample data of your table and post screenshot of your scenario so that we can test it further?

sajThe source data is available at https://datahub.bradford.gov.uk/ebase/dp/LSOA.csv
The source data has been extracted from the ONS and can be seen via this link.
The following screen shot shows BI. I've created the ArcGIS map where location = LSOAcode.
Location Type>>Boundary>>One Country>>UK>>CensusArea
The codes are geocoded but incorrectly. The shape is wrong and the polygons are near Uxbridge, not Bradford, West Yorkshire.
Thanks

We are also having this problem with the visual using LSOA codes. Is there anyother place we can go to get this logged?

I believe this is similar to an issue we have observed in May last year, ticket raised with MS. This was the response
We had a look in how you were using the LSOAs or MSOAs columns to visualize Census data to represent UK boundaries in the ArcGIS map. We identified that the columns used for mapping the data on the visual are alphanumeric and not ideal for ArcGIS map visual. We discussed possibilities of changing the column to represent the Census areas and ended up using the correct column for this scenario which was Output Areas (OAs) which is a geography very granular and helpful in this scenario.If similar - please Vote this one up:
