Housing Occupancy StatusData downloaded from: https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/decennial-census/about/rdo/summary-files.htmlNational Figures: data.census.govPublic Law 94-171, enacted in 1975, directs the U.S. Census Bureau to make special preparations to provide redistricting data needed by the 50 states.1 It specifies that within 1 year following Census Day, the Census Bureau must send the governor and legislative leadership in each state the data they need to redraw districts for the U.S. Congress and state legislatures. To meet this legal requirement, the Census Bureau set up a program that affords state officials an opportunity before each decennial census to define the small areas for which they wish to receive census population totals for redistricting purposes. Officials may receive data for voting districts (e.g., election precincts, wards) and state house and senate districts, in addition to standard census geographic areas such as counties, cities, census tracts, and blocks. State participation in defining areas is voluntary and nonpartisan. For further information on Public Law 94-171 and the 2020 Census Redistricting Data Program, see:www.census.gov/programs-surveys/decennial-census/about/rdo/program -management.htmlData processed using R statistical package and ArcGIS Desktop.
