A New Look At Your Legislative District!
With upcoming elections and a legislative session about to
open, conversations are happening all over the state. North Dakota Compass and North Dakota KIDS COUNT have teamed up
to create demographic and
socio-economic profiles for the 2013-2022 North Dakota State Legislative
Districts. Check out the population, household, social, and economic characteristics
for your legislative district. Each profile compares district information with
North Dakota and the United States. The goal of these publications is to
inform, educate, create awareness, and generate discussion.
The Legislative Profiles
have been compiled based on information obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau’s
2008-2012 American Community Survey 5-year estimates. They are downloadable and
completely free for anyone who is interested.
What is the American Community Survey (ACS)? The ACS is a nationwide, continuous survey, conducted by the
Census Bureau, designed to provide communities with reliable and timely
demographic, housing, social, and economic data every year. The ACS provides a
continuous stream of updated information for states and local areas by age
group, race, and sex.
Legislative districts in North Dakota were redrawn after the
2010 Census – and data for the new boundaries is only represented in the 2012
dataset. These profiles are created using the most current data available from
the Census Bureau - 2008-2012 ACS 5-year estimates.
Would you like to see the district profiles produced
annually? Do you find them useful? Please take a moment to fill out this survey
to help North Dakota Compass and North Dakota KIDS COUNT determine the value of
this resource going forward.
