Include demographics data for area reports where available? #668

For example, currently if you load the report for Fairbanks, it'll show demographics data for Fairbanks North Star Borough. But if you load the report for Fairbanks North Star Borough, it shows no demographics data.

We are not sure how many 1-to-1 matches there are between our list of supported areas for reports vs. our demographic areas, so we'll probably want to investigate the juice vs. squeeze ratio before diving into this.

There is data for Fairbanks North Star Borough (BORO8) in the demographics.shp on GeoServer. So this may be a problem with fetching the data and not data availability.

We can trigger a backend lookup if the place ID is type community, census area or borough -- those are all 1-1 in the backend!
