[EL] Query - Counties and Congressional Districts

Fri Aug 10 09:49:20 PDT 2012

Doug is correct in noting that the link provided is to last decade's districts.  He is also correct in noting what the Bureau reported to NCSL earlier this week, since we were at the same meeting.  

But he did not note a more disturbing piece of information that was shared with the group, that being that funding cut backs in the Bureau have caused them to cancel the retabulation of the 2010 census numbers for the new districts.  When they get the district geography into their master system, they will be able to have new ACS data reported for the districts, but not old data.  Whether these cutbacks affect other data products or tables remains to be seen.

Who knows, maybe Lillie will turn out to be correct and we'll do this.  Of course, that means I need to come off my constant state of traveling and find the tine (and $) to do the work.

That is correct: the current Census link provides 2000 Census data and 2001-cycle district lines.

At NCSL earlier this week the Census Bureau reported that it has just completed collecting the 2011-cycle lines, and that it will use the new lines in its 2013 release of American Community Service data, which I believe is scheduled for January.

That link goes to the 2000 census.  Is there also a link for 2010 census?

       A friend of mine is looking for a convenient data file showing for all 50 states which counties are located, in part or in whole, in each congressional district.  If you can recommend such a source, please send the information to me off-list.  I'll pass it on to my friend.  I believe this is for research, not a political purpose.  Thanks.
