remove unavailable geo levels from cubes #179

Closed jspeis closed 6 years ago

jspeis commented 6 years ago

this is a side-effect of the slimmed down tables, but we should remove unavailable cubes from the dimension drilldowns (eg if a cube does not support tract level data or does have have zip data, we should not show those levels in the cube) otherwise it will confuse users

hwchen commented 6 years ago

Currently, zip and county_subdivision are already removed in fossil-lake.

The issue is with tracts, which I've left in for some tables but not others. One @jspeis mentioned was to have two separate shared geo tables, one with tract and one without.

Actually, there's an additional issue: this is a more general problem, where some acs tables may not have any data for certain geographies (especially smaller ones like place). This we cannot know ahead of time, as far as I know. Any thoughts here @jspeis?

@hwchen I'm not aware of any tables that don't have any coverage for places?

I would think that there would be only a limited number of cases (likely only those that are new and only have 1-year tables available?). How many ACS tables that we use are missing data for all places? (EDIT: and by that I mean, have 0 data on places)

hmmm... maybe you're right, that there's no table that would be missing data for all of a geo level. But I guess I'd have to check that.

(the only examples I can think of off the top of my head are that there are no zip or tracts in any 1-year ACS tables)

I'm actually going to close this actually for now as we will just use the hide_in_ui for tracts we should be ok in the mean time
