State Legislative Districts -- Cycle 2024
  -- state legislative district geographic, demographic, economic characteristics
  -- November 2024 election incumbency, party, vote details

Delaware 020 has the highest rental vacancy rate among all State Legislative District Upper (Senate) chambers in the U.S. The value of 45 percent results from beach towns in vicinity of Bethany Beach, a beach area, which can experience a high rental vacancy rate. See details about display of these data.

There are 4,874 lower chamber (house) state legislative districts (SLDL) and 1,960 upper chamber (senate) state legislative districts (SLDU) in the 2024 cycle. Data for the SLD 2024 reflect changes to the SLD 2022.

Using the SLD 2024 with iVDA


SLD 2024 changes since SLD 2022
Eight states (Georgia, Minnesota, Montana, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Washington, and Wisconsin) delineated new state legislative district-upper (SLDU) chamber plans for the 2024 election cycle. Eleven states (Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, Washington, and Wisconsin) delineated new state legislative district-lower (SLDL) chamber plans for the 2024 election cycle. A new SLDU plan was approved for Michigan after the Census Bureau collected these boundaries but still prior to the 2024 elections. The Michigan Senate (upper) chamber is not up for reelection until 2026, so that plan is not reflected in the geographic and data releases below. It will instead be captured in our 2026 collection cycle. All other states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico had no changes to their state legislative district (SLD) boundaries from the 2022 cycle.

Using the VDA Table Feature to Compute and View New variables
Most of the 160 items contained in the DP1 datasets are whole numbers or like total population (D001TPOP) or Hispanic population (D157HISP). To create and view the percent Hispanic population requires use of the Table feature of VDA tools, explained here. In this example, the default County layer setting is unchecked and the SLD Upper is check on. Next, the Table feature is started. Start the Table feature by clicking the rightmost Table-Grid marker below the map window. The table for the active layer is now shown below.


The SQL Filter value:
    SELECT round(100*cast(D093HISP as real)/cast(D001TPOP as real),1) as value where value > 0
entered then Query is clicked resulting in the next view.



The "Show Values" button is clicked, resulting in the desired map shown below.



The highlighted SLDU has a percent hispanic population of 71.7 .. this is SLDU 48006 as shown in the profile at lower right

Highest Senate SLD 2024 Rental Vacancy Rate (percent) .. goto top
The Rental Vacancy Rate (Percent), item D157RVACR, is one of the items already shown as a percent.

The rental vacancy rate is the proportion of the rental inventory that is vacant for rent. The rates are computed using the following formula.
                                  [Vacant year-ound units for sale only}
 Rental Vacancy Rate (%) = 100 *  ---------------------------------------
                                    [Owner occupied units]
                                   + [Vacant year-round units rented awaiting occupancy]
                               + [Vacant year-round units for sale only]

Role of GIS and State Legislative Districts 2024
A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer -based tool that allows users to store, analyze, visualize, and interpret geographic data. Geographic data, also known as spatial or geospatial data, identifies the location of features on earth. GIS combines the visual elements of maps with the ability to link characteristics about those features in datasets. This relationship allows GIS to locate, display, analyze, and model data.

GIS technology integrates geographic data with statistical and adminstrative data using statistical methods and analytics. These abilities make GIS valuable to a wide range of public and private enterprises for explaining events, predicting outcomes and planning strategies. And collaborating on those issues.
