State Legislative District Data Analytics -- ACS 2014 Social Characteristics
January 2016. The importance of understanding the demographic-economic make-up and patterns for state legislative districts can hardly be overstated. Community and neighborhood challenges and opportunities are shaped by demographic-economic dynamics. Legislative district incumbents and stakeholders need this information to assess conditions and plan to meet the needs of residents. Only by knowing "where we are" can we develop the most effective plans for improvement. Use the GIS project to examine state legislative districts in context of neighborhoods and small area socioeconomic patterns (details below). Social Characteristics State legislative districts are diverse; they range in educational attainment - percent bachelor's degree or higher - from 3.4% to 85.4%. The average household size ranges from 1.66 to 4.76 persons. Use the interactive table below to view other social characteristics.

State Legislative Districts State legislative districts are the areas from which members are elected to state or equivalent entity legislatures. State legislative districts are comprised of upper (senate) and lower (house) chambers. Nebraska has a unicameral legislature and the District of Columbia has a single council; these are treated as upper-chamber legislative areas in the interactive table. Importance of State Legislative District Demographic-Economic Data The American Community Survey provides "richer" demographic-economic characteristics for national scope 2014 session state legislative districts. Only ACS sourced data provide details on topics such as income and poverty, labor force and employment, housing value and costs, educational participation and attainment, language spoken at home, among many related items. The approximate 600 items accessible via the dataset are supplemented by a wide range of additional subject matter.
