Legislative Mapper

FairData has developed an interactive map showing child poverty rates by current state legislative districts. Additional legislative district maps show other socio-economic data from the 2000 census, as well as party affiliation as of  January 2007.

Change maps  by clicking the drop-down menu under "Compare Maps" to the left of the map image. Click on the INFO tool and then click on the map to retrieve census data for the various geographic layers in a pop-up window. Or click on ZOOM TO and then click on the map -- summary data for the district selected will appear in a table below the map. 

To display congressional boundaries, streets, etc., you must check the relevant display box below the map image, then click the Redraw button.

 Note that in several states  --  Arizona,  Idaho, New Jersey, Nebraska (unicameral), Washington, District of Columbia (wards), and North Dakota  --  upper chamber boundaries are the same as the lower chamber.

A 2006 court-ordered modification to Senate and House Districts 21, 26, and 27 in South Dakota is not reflected in the maps. (The plan was drafted by FairPlan for a Sec. 2 lawsuit)
