Census 2000 Retabulated for Current State Legislature Boundaries
|
States recommended after Census 2000 that the Census Bureau maintain
legislative districts as part of the Census Bureau TIGER data base. To
meet this recommendation, the post-Census 2000 redistricting plans were collected as part of Phase 1
of the 2010 Census Redistricting Data Program.
Census has completed Phase 1 of the 2010 Census Redistricting Data Program and is
releasing (as of 1/5/2007) the retabulation of Census 2000 data (100% and sample) for the current boundaries of all state legislatures,
Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia.
The re-tabulated data may be accessed via FactFinder.

2010 Census Redistricting Data Program
|
The 2010 Census Redistricting Data Program Phase 1: State Legislative District Project
commenced in February 2005.
In January 2005, the Census Bureau sent letters to the Governor and legislative leadership of each state
asking them to name a nonpartisan liaison to work with the Census Bureau on the 2010 Census Redistricting Data Program.
The Federal Register notice and related information regarding the 2010 Census Redistricting Data Program
is located at http://www.census.gov/rdo/www/
