Can Azure Maps provide the political district for an address?

Hi all;

I couldn't find this anywhere but figure it's worth asking. For an address can Azure Maps, or another Azure service, provide the political districts that address is in? This would include:

  1. Federal House of Representatives
  2. State House of Representatives
  3. State Senate (except Nebraska - unicameral)
  4. City (not the mailing address, are they in the City limits)
  5. And there's more...

thanks - dave

    No, Azure Maps does not contain political district information.

    Azure Maps can however determine if an address is within a city, however it might not necessarily by the official city limits (incorporated vs unincorporated). Geocoding an address, or reverse geocoding a point will usually have a city value (locality) in the result data. You can get the polygon for a city using one of the boundary services:
