This edition of the Congressional District Atlas contains maps and tables for the 105th Congress of the United States. The maps show the boundaries of each congressional district. Tables listing the jurisdictions that are completely or partially within each congressional district are included. For states with only one congressional district, a state map is included but there is no table. The maps and tables are designed for page size (8 1/2 x 11) printed output. Although the map images use co lor for enhanced viewing, the design allows for acceptable black and white desktop printing. For more information, see the sections on Maps and Tables. Background: 103rd and 104th Congress Following the 1990 decennial census, most states redistricted for the 103rd Congress based upon the apportionment of the seats for the U.S. House of Representatives and the most recent decennial census data. For the 104th Congress, six states redistricted or through court action had either plans revised or redrawn. These states were Georgia, Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota, South Carolina and Virginia. The 104th Congress began January 1995 and continued through the beginning of January 1997. 105th Congress The 105th Congress began January 5, 1997 and continues through the beginning of January 1999. For the 105th Congress, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, and Texas had new or revised congressional district plans. The Census Bureau retabulated demographic data from the 1990 census to accommodate any congressional district boundary changes from the previous Congress. This data is available on a separate CD-ROM from the Census Bureau Customer Service Branch (301) 457-4100. The 105th Congressional District Atlas CD-ROM provides maps showing the boundaries of the congressional districts of the 105th Congress. To meet the data needs for the 105th Congress, the Census Bureau designed this product on CD-ROM for all states. It contains maps and related entity tables in Adobe. Note to Users: This CD is part of a collection located in the Data Archive of the Odum Institute for Research in Social Science, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The collection is located in Room 10, Manning Hall. Users may check the CDs out subscribing to the honor system. Items can be checked out for a period of two weeks.

This is shown by tract centroid. This service is updated annually to contain the most currently released American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year data, and contains estimates and margins of error. There are also additional calculated attributes related to this topic, which can be mapped or used within analysis. The calculated percentages are slightly different from traditional age-specific fertility rates in that the total number of live births (due to twins or higher-order multiple births) is not available in this table.

As America’s racial composition shifts, states that minimize changes to existing districts in successive redistricting cycles can entrench racial disparities in representation, a process I term ‘dilutive drift’. Using novel spatial measures of U.S. House district change between successive congresses, I show that packing and cracking can occur passively, not only through deliberate gerrymandering. States with long histories of racial exclusion, such as Alabama and Louisiana, make persistently fewer changes to their districts than other states. Minimal-change redistricting, I argue, can entrench unequal representation just as effectively as overt gerrymandering.
