Any one district doesn't "draw" anything if there is no load (locos/lamps, etc.) placed upon it. What you may have is a voltage drop and the lower voltage will place a greater load (amperage) in that district when a loco enters it. Why are you feeding all 5 districts from one booster? The idea behind districts is to isolate them from each other to prevent a total system shut down in case a greater load than a booster can handle (such as a short) is placed on it. As you have it wired, it will still shut down. To measure the draw (amperage) you will need a special DCC "enabled" ammeter placed between the booster and the track, on only one lead.
