The legislative districts contain the geographically defined territories used for representation in the California State Assembly, California State Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives from California. These three boundary layers were approved by the California Citizens Redistricting Commission in 2021 following the completion of the 2020 United States Census.

California State Senate district boundaries intended for the NEVI map.Data downloaded in October 2024 from https://gis.data.ca.gov/maps/b31d93f08c074753b89f8cbb0b8beed9/about.
Final approved map by the 2020 California Citizens Redistricting Commission for the California State Senate. Final approved map by the 2020 California Citizens Redistricting Commission for the California State Senate; the authoritative and official delineations of the California State Senate drawn during the 2020 redistricting cycle. The Citizens Redistricting Commission for the State of California has created statewide district maps for the State Assembly, State Senate, State Board of Equalization, and United States Congress in accordance, with the provisions of Article XXI of the California Constitution. The Commission has approved the final maps and certified them to the Secretary of State. Line drawing criteria included population equality as required by the U.S. Constitution, the Federal Voting Rights Act, geographic contiguity, geographic integrity, geographic compactness, and nesting. Geography was defined by U.S. Census Block geometry. Each of the 40 Senate districts has an ideal population of nearly one million people and represents the largest state legislative districts in the nation. In consideration of population equality, the Commission chose to limit the population deviation as close to zero percent as practicable. Per the California Constitution, the Commission strived to nest two Assembly districts where practicable. However, higher ranking criteria made this difficult in practice. While the size of the Senate districts allowed the Commission to recognize broadly shared interests, these interests did not always overlap exactly with the interests of smaller communities recognized in the related Assembly districts. Based on the large number of people in each district, there were a variety of different interests that were balanced and included.
Polygon layers for the 2011 and 2022 Senate district boundaries and the 2022 Assembly district boundaries.
This dataset is one from a series of district layers pertaining to California Senate Districts that are derived from the California State Senate information. All data layers are reprojected into the SCAG standard projection. The following district layer is included in the series: Senate_districts: Current California Senate Districts based on the new district boundaries enacted into state law on September 13, 2001, and signed into law on September 13, 2001, and signed into law on September 26, 2001 for use with the March 2002 primary election The boundary has been updated as of 11/2011
Senate Districts in California with boundaries showing active, deferred, and accelerated district boundaries until the 2024 Election. This data is available at a public level for everyone to use.
The active districts are comprised of even district numbers with Senators elected in 2022. These even districts use the boundaries edited in the 2020 Census. They were finalized in 2021 so that is why the districts are referenced with that date. The first election they were ready to be used in was the 2022 Election, but not the 2020 election.
The 2020 Election used the boundaries of the districts created in the 2010 Census (finalized in 2011). The odd numbered senate districts used the 2011 boundaries in the 2020 election. These odd senate districts will change to the 2021 Certified districts with the 2024 election cycle. Until then the odd numbered 2011 Certified Senate districts are still active. These even and odd districts are labelled as Active Districts in the layer.
Since some of these boundaries were changed, there is overlap of some of the odd and even districts. They are referred to as Accelerated Districts and they occur where an existing odd-district is overlain by a new even-district. The constituents in the accelerated areas will have two Senators who may represent them.
Some of the district boundaries were changed so that there are gaps with no district coverage at all. If there is a gap in coverage, the area is referred to as a Deferred District. They occur when an area that was an even-numbered district in the 2011 redistricting plan becomes an odd-numbered district in the 2021 redistricting plan. The area does not have a Senator until the conclusion of the 2024 election when the new odd-numbered district becomes active. During the 2023-2024 session the Senate Rules Committee assigns Senators to provide constituent services in deferred areas.
This web map of California legislative districts includes the geographically defined territories used for representation in the California State Assembly, California State Senate and the US House of Representatives from California. These three boundary layers are derived from the US Census Bureau's 2018 TIGER/Line database and are designed to overlay with the California Department of Education’s (CDE) education related GIS content.
The 80 California State Assembly Districts represent the geographically defined territories used for electing members to the lower (house) chamber of the California State Legislature. The current state assembly boundaries were determined by the California Citizens Redistricting Commission following the completion of the 2010 United States Census and will remain valid until 2020.
The 40 state senate districts represent the geographically defined territories used for electing members to the upper (senate) chamber of the California State Legislature. The current state senate boundaries were determined by the California Citizens Redistricting Commission following the completion of the 2010 United States Census and will remain valid until 2020.
The 53 congressional districts within the State of California represent the geographically defined territories used for electing members to the U.S. House of Representatives. The current U.S. Congressional boundaries in California were determined by the California Citizens Redistricting Commission following the completion of the 2010 United States Census and will remain valid until 2020

The 2023 cartographic boundary KMLs are simplified representations of selected geographic areas from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). These boundary files are specifically designed for small-scale thematic mapping. When possible, generalization is performed with the intent to maintain the hierarchical relationships among geographies and to maintain the alignment of geographies within a file set for a given year. Geographic areas may not align with the same areas from another year. Some geographies are available as nation-based files while others are available only as state-based files. State Legislative Districts (SLDs) are the areas from which members are elected to state legislatures. The SLDs embody the upper (senate) and lower (house) chambers of the state legislature. Nebraska has a unicameral legislature and the District of Columbia has a single council, both of which the Census Bureau treats as upper-chamber legislative areas for the purpose of data presentation; there are no data by SLDL for either Nebraska or the District of Columbia. A unique three-character census code, identified by state participants, is assigned to each SLD within a state. In Connecticut, Illinois, Louisiana, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, and Puerto Rico, the Redistricting Data Program (RDP) participant did not define the SLDs to cover all of the state or state equivalent area. In these areas with no SLDs defined, the code "ZZZ" has been assigned, which is treated as a single SLD for purposes of data presentation. The generarlized boundaries in this file are based on the most recent state legislative district boundaries collected by the Census Bureau for the 2022 election year and provided by state-level participants through the RDP.
The State Senate Districts layer contains polygons for California State Senate Districts. The source for the information in this layer is the Los Angeles Registrar/Recorder's Precinct Information File (PIF), which is designed to match the Thomas Brothers TRNL (road network) layer. Where boundaries are defined by streets, water, city boundaries, or other features, those arc segments are copied to the districts layer, so that the boundaries and other layer features match perfectly.

The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. Congressional districts are the 435 areas from which people are elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. After the apportionment of congressional seats among the states based on census population counts, each state is responsible for establishing congressional districts for the purpose of electing representatives. Each congressional district is to be as equal in population to all other congressional districts in a state as practicable. The 118th Congress is seated from January 2023 through December 2024. In Connecticut, Illinois, and New Hampshire, the Redistricting Data Program (RDP) participant did not define the CDs to cover all of the state or state equivalent area. In these areas with no CDs defined, the code "ZZ" has been assigned, which is treated as a single CD for purposes of data presentation. The TIGER/Line shapefiles for the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Island Areas (American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) each contain a single record for the non-voting delegate district in these areas. The boundaries of all other congressional districts reflect information provided to the Census Bureau by the states by August 31, 2022.
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the California Energy Commission (CEC) are partnering to implement the federal National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Program, which allocates $5 billion to the states to create a nationwide, interconnected network of DC fast chargers along the National Highway Systems. California's share will be $384 million over 5 years. This map was developed to help prospective applicants and interested parties identify eligible areas for infrastructure deployment.InstructionsViewers can display corridor groups, corridor segments, electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, Justice40 disadvantaged communities, Tribal lands, California-designated low-income or disadvantaged communities, metropolitan planning organizations, regional transportation planning agencies, California state legislative districts, counties, Caltrans districts, utility districts, and congressional districts in this interactive map. The map initially displays corridor groups and their corridor segments included in the Round 2 NEVI solicitation. Viewers can toggle individual layers on and off using the map layers menu located to the right of the map. Some layers are organized into groups; viewers can toggle all layers within a group or select specific ones. The legend to the left of the map will show the layers that have been turned on. There is a search tool to the right of the map that enables viewers to type in an address and locate the address on the map. A basemap selector allows viewers to view road detail. Additional information on the map can be found under the information icon. Viewers can download the map files by clicking on the Data and Supplemental Links icon. Map layers include:A Corridor groups layer that shows designated corridor groups for California's NEVI funding program. Users can click on a corridor segment to view the start and end of each segment within a corridor group. When selected, a pop-up window will appear that identifies the corridor group number, corridor segment, corridor name, minimum number of charging stations required, minimum number of ports required, and needed locations, if applicable, for the corridor segment.

EV charging stations layers (existing DC fast charging stations that are located within one mile of a NEVI-eligible corridor offramp). One layer shows locations of EV charging stations with DC fast charging capabilities that meet the NEVI power level and four-port minimum requirement and could likely become part of the NEVI network if these stations became compliant with other NEVI program requirements such as data reporting. The other layer shows DC fast charging stations that do not meet NEVI power-level or port count requirements but could be upgraded to be NEVI-compliant. Users can click on EV charging stations and a pop-up window will appear with more information on the station (i.e., station address, total port count, minimum NEVI standard, etc.). These data were last updated in March 2024. Please refer to the Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center and PlugShare for up-to-date existing and planned DC fast charger site information. A layer showing Caltrans Districts.

BackgroundThe $5 billion NEVI Program is part of the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) signed into law by President Biden in November 2021. IIJA commits significant federal funding to clean transportation and energy programs throughout the U.S. to reduce climate changing greenhouse gas emissions. Caltrans is the designated lead agency for NEVI. The CEC is their designated state energy partner. Caltrans and the CEC have partnered to create California's Deployment Plan for the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program that describes how the state plans to allocate its $384 million share of federal NEVI funds to build out a network of modern, high-powered DC fast chargers along federally designated Alternative Fuel Corridors throughout California. California's latest NEVI Deployment Plan was submitted to the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation on August 1, 2023 and approved on September 29, 2023. The Plans must be updated each year over 5 years.NEVI funds must be used initially on federally-designated Alternative Fuel Corridors (shown on the map).Each NEVI-funded DC fast charge station will have a minimum of four 150 kW Combined Charging System (CCS) connectors. Stations will be located no more than 50 miles apart along freeways and highways and no more than 1 mile from a freeway exit or highway roadway. States are required to emphasize equity, with at least 40 percent of NEVI benefits going to disadvantaged, low income, rural and Tribal communities.Data SourcesData are from the Federal Highway Administration's Alternative Fuel Corridors website, the U.S. Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center Station Data for Alternative Fuel Corridors (as of September 2022), Argonne National Laboratory's Electric Vehicle Charging Justice40 Map, and the California Air Resources Board's Map of California Climate Investments Priority Populations 2022 CES 4.0.

The aquifer risk map is being developed to fulfill requirements of SB-200 and is intended to help prioritize areas where domestic wells and state small water systems may be accessing groundwater that does not meet primary drinking water standards (maximum contaminant level or MCL). In accordance with SB-200, the risk map is to be made available to the public and is to be updated annually starting January 1, 2021. The Fund Expenditure Plan states the risk map will be used by Water Boards staff to help prioritize areas for available SAFER funding.This layer contains several reference boundaries, including:California County boundariesCensus Tract boundaries with Disadvantaged Community Status (based on Median Household Income)California Assembly District boundariesCalifornia Senate District boundariesCalifornia Regional Water Board boundariesCV-SALTS priority groundwater basinsGroundwater Sustainability Agency boundariesGroundwater Unit boundaries
There are 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, of which 52 are allocated to the state of California. Seats in the House are allocated based on the population of each state. To ensure proportional and dynamic representation, congressional apportionment is reevaluated every 10 years based on census population data. After the 2020 census, six states gained a seat - Colorado, Florida, Montana, North Carolina, and Oregon. The states of California, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia lost a seat.
The legislative districts contain the geographically defined territories used for representation in the California State Assembly, California State Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives from California. These three boundary layers were approved by the California Citizens Redistricting Commission in 2021 following the completion of the 2020 United States Census.
