The ranking table includes 435 congressional districts and the District of Columbia thereby covering the total United States population. The table excludes delegates for Puerto Rico and U.S. territorial areas. Incumbency data are updated as changes occur.

Using the Filters. To select CDs within a state, after clicking the Show All button, select the state with the State filter dropdown below table. To select CDs with a party incumbency, after clicking the Show All button, select the party with the Party filter dropdown below table. For example, selecting Party=D the table shows just the 257 districts that have a Democrat incumbent. Once either the State or Party filter has been applied, re-sort on attributes to view ranking based on that item. To restore to view to all CDs, click the Show All button. To find a member name (any partial string) in Incumbent column, click Show All button, key in the text (case-sensitive), then click Find in Name button. To restore to start-up view, refresh the page.

Within State Analysis. To examine attributes of a party within a state proceed as follows. Click Show All button. Select a state (e.g., CA). Select a party (e.g. D). Note there are 33 rows/incumbents (CA and D). Now click a header column to sort this group in either direction. Repeat as desired.
