Location Headings and Add Metro Comparison
When retrieving an embed code, adding an option to include or exclude the location heading above a given infographic would be great for those of us using multiple infographics for a single location on a webpage (it gets repetitive). The existing subject title above a chart is more critical and most of the time we can just note the location of the data with our own webpage heading. ALSO, when reporting on stats for geographies like counties, adding metro area to the state and country comparisons would be awesome! Thanks for the great content.

This is a totally sensible suggestion, although adding any kind of configuration options is a substantial shift from the current model.
Also, the idea that there are two comparisons is fairly deeply baked in to the system, so if we took your reasonable suggestion about counties, we'd probably shift to only metro and state -- and that raises the issue that a fair number of counties aren't in any metro/micro area, so the system would then need to have a variable process for deciding the comparisons. Not an unreasonable thing to ask, but it makes re-plumbing everything a bit harder.
In any case, we welcome feedback from folks about how Census Reporter could be better, and we'll take these ideas into account.
