State Legislative District Data Analytics -- ACS 2014 Housing 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). Housing Characteristics State legislative districts are diverse; they range in median housing value from $33,100 to more than $1,000,000. The median monthly rent ranges from $344 to more than $2,000.

This section is focused on tools, resources and methods that you can use to access, integrate and analyze state legislative district general demographics data. The U.S. national scope ACS 2014 (released December 2015) State Legislative District Demographic-Economic Dataset contains approximately 600 subject matter items tabulated for each state legislative district organized into four subject matter groups: • General Demographics • Social Characteristics • Economic Characteristics • Housing Characteristics -- this section See more about the importance of these data. Data reviewed in this section are based on the American Community Survey (ACS) 2014 5-year estimates for state legislative districts defined as of the 2014 legislative session.

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.
