Following is a response from Senior Geospatial Data Scientist, Rose Donohue:

We don't have labels for the shdist value, but they could use the GPS dataset to find this information by taking the following steps:

1.Pull the cluster IDs and shdist values from the recode.
2.Join them to the GPS data.
3.Acquire a shapefile of the districts (available from sources such as GADM) and then spatially join the district names from that file to the GPS data.
4.They will then need to address instances where the values and names don't line up
