This resource is a member of a series. 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.

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.

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.

The 83rd Legislature, 1st Called Session, enacted S.B. 4 (PLAN C235). This plan is effective January 2013. All data is based on the 2010 census. For more information, visit: https://redistricting.capitol.texas.gov/Current-districts#us-congress-section.

The following is excerpted from an online document produced by the U.S. Census Bureau pertaining to cartographic boundary files of congressional districts:"Congressional districts (CDs) 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 CDs for the purpose of electing representatives. Each CD is to be as equal in population to all other CDs in the state as practicable.The CDs in effect at the time of Census 2000 were those of the 106th Congress, whose session began in January 1999. The boundaries were identical to those reflected in the 107th CD boundary files. The CDs for the 103rd Congress (January 1993 to 1995) were the first to reflect redistricting based on the 1990 census. The 103rd CDs remained in effect through Census 2000, except where a state initiative or a court-ordered redistricting required a change. Six states redistricted for the 104th Congress (Georgia, Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota, South Carolina, and Virginia), five states redistricted for the 105th Congress (Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, and Texas), and three states (New York, North Carolina, and Virginia) redistricted for the 106th Congress. In North Carolina the "1998 Congressional Plan A" was used for the 1998 congressional elections. It was created in response to a court ruling which held the 1997 plan, "97 House/Senate Plan A," unconstitutional. These boundaries are reflected in the 106th CD boundary files. The Supreme Court has since reversed that lower court ruling and the 1997 plan, "97 House/Senate Plan A," (reflected in the 107th CD boundary files) was used for the 2000 North Carolina congressional elections. The 108th Congress is the first to reflect reapportionment and redistricting based on Census 2000 data."

The 87th Legislature, 3rd Called Special Session, enacted S.B. 6 (PLAN C2193) which applies to elections beginning with the primary and general elections in 2022. For more information, visit: https://redistricting.capitol.texas.gov.
