-- examining voting age population by neighborhood in relation to voting districts & Congressional Districts October 2015. Examining patterns of the citizen voting age population ... the Voting Rights Act prohibits development of voting districts that discriminate against potential voters on the basis of race and/or language minority status. To examine how voting districts comply with the Voting Rights Act requires data on the citizen voting age population (CVAP) by race/origin for small geographic areas. The ACS 2013 5-year CVAP special tabulation provides these estimates for census tracts and block groups. Related CVAP Sections • Block Groups; ACS 2010-14 special tabulation • Census Tracts; ACS 2009-13 special tabulation • Census Tracts; ACS 2009-13 special tabulation - Hispanic focus
The CVAP data can be used to develop insights into alternative interpretations of "one person one vote." The Supreme Court on May 26, 2015, agreed to hear a case that will answer a long-contested question about a principle of the American political system -- the meaning of "one person one vote." The court has never resolved whether that means that voting districts should have the same number of people, or the same number of eligible voters. The difference matters in places with large numbers of people who cannot vote legally, including immigrants who are here legally but are not citizens; unauthorized immigrants; children; and prisoners. The CVAP estimates provide only one part of the required data. The voting district boundaries are also needed to be used in combination with the CVAP estimates. Using GIS tools, the CVAP estimates can be used in mapping applications, such as those reviewed in this section, in combination with voting district boundaries to reveal potential non-compliance in the structure of voting districts. Use the interactive table in this section to view/rank/compare/query national scope citizen and CVAP estimates by race/ethnicity by census tract. See more about these data.
ProximityOne develops custom maps and provides related analyses of the Citizen Voting Age Population
by census tract or block group
optionally in context of Congressional Districts, state legislative districts, voting districts,
census block clusters and other geography.

Patterns of CVAP Hispanic Population by Neighborhood The map presented below shows patterns of the Hispanic citizen voting age population as a percent of total population by census tract in the Los Angeles area. Percentage intervals by green color pattern (see in legend at left of map). Congressional Districts are shown with dark blue boundaries and labeled with congressional district codes. It is easy to see where concentrations of percent Hispanic citizen voting age population are located and how the distribution relates to congressional districts.

About the Data Data used in this section are based on the 2013 American Community Survey (ACS) 2009-13 5-year CVAP special tabulation. CVAP estimates have been developed for U.S. national scope geographic areas including the U.S., state, county, city/place, minor civil division, census tract and block group. The scope of the subject matter is focused on total number of United States citizens for the geographic area total number of United States citizens 18 years of age or older for the geographic area, each cross-classified by several race/ethnicity groups. The estimates for the number of citizens and voting age population for each of the race/ethnicity groups is shown in the above interactive table.
