Census Reapportionment Data Release

On April 26, the U.S. Census Bureau released reapportionment data. These numbers are population totals for the nation and the states, as well as congressional apportionment totals for each state, also known as Methods of Equal Proportions. What these data are not, are the Census data the California Citizens Redistricting Commission needs to redraw the lines for Congressional, State Senate, State Assembly, and Board of Equalization districts. Those data are still pending.

At their press conference, the U.S. Census Bureau announced that California would be assigned 52 congressional seats, one less than the state currently has. Californians want to know how the Commission will redraw 52 congressional districts. The Commission will use the census data in conjunction with other criteria including communities of interest input to create a full assessment of the representational needs of the state. As the California Citizens Redistricting Commission awaits redistricting data, Californians should continue to submit communities of interest input to the commission, which will inform commissioners which communities wish to remain together during the redistricting process. 

Details: Californians can visit DrawMyCACommunity.org to submit COI input today.
