Loudoun 2020 Census Blocks DLS Adjusted

Loudoun County 2020 Census Blocks as adjusted by the Virginia Division of Legislative ServicesThe United States decennial census is the primary data source on population, age, and race used in redistricting. While there is no federal requirement that census data be used for redistricting, § 24.2-304.1 of the Code of Virginia requires local governments to use the most recent decennial population figures for such county, city, or town for the purposes of redistricting and reapportioning representation. During the 2011 cycle, this Code section required the use of those “figures [that were] identical to those from the actual enumeration conducted by the United States Census Bureau (the Census Bureau) for the apportionment of representatives in the United States House of Representatives.” However, the 2020 Regular Session of the General Assembly amended this requirement so that in the 2021 redistricting cycle the data to be used will be the census data as adjusted by the Division of Legislative Services to reflect the reallocation of prison populations.
