[SPIKE] Load census block group geographic boundaries for the 4 territories #724

Closed BethMattern closed 3 years ago

We need the geometries for the 4 territories and they need to be on the geojson and score CSV. We need to figure out what the source data is for this. We should ping Geoplatform to see if they can help.

This should not be a blocker for #723

It is straightforward to add the territories to the census shape file ETL. Then score generation will try to left join territory boundaries with other data and we'll get a bunch of NaNs. Additionally, because the map is driven by the score CSV, if there is no data for those territories they might not even appear.

Thoughts:

Created #804 and #805 as a result of this spike and convo.
