About State Legislative Districts
State Legislative District (SLD) geography and data reviewed in this section are for SLDs in effect for the 2022 election cycle. SLDs are are organized as State Legislative Districts - Upper Chamber (SLDUs) and State Legislative Districts - Lower Chamber (SLDLs). There are 1,955 SLDUs and 4,839 SLDLs. ProximityOne has developed a single national scope shapefile for use in Geographic Information System (GIS) applications for each SLDL and SLDU. These shapefiles have been developed by merging Census-sourced state by state shapefiles (SLDU and SLDL separately) and then clipping the boundaries at shoreline.

Geospatial Analysis of SLDs using VDA Web GIS
Start VDA Web GIS and key in an address to view/analyze SLDs of interest. See step-by-step details below. Use the "Congressional District/SLD" Project with the VDA Web GIS to create maps and geospatially analyze SLDs in context of other geography and multi-sourced subject matter, There is nothing to install, requires only a browser and Internet. Start VDA Web GIS using most any browser (Chrome recommended) and any device (Windows desktop/laptop recommeded). Create map views such as those shown below. VDA GIS has been developed and is maintained by Warren Glimpse/ProximityOne/Alexandria, VA USA and Takashi Hamilton/Tsukasa/Osaka, Japan. All that is required to use VDA is a Web browser. iOS and Android versions are supported. VDA uses the same core structure as the Windows desktop VDA Desktop.
