Used for US congressional and state legislative redistricting
The expanded report provides a detailed breakdown of the PL 94-171 data as released by the Census Bureau, compared to the reallocated, or adjusted data, provided by the state’s official redistricting body.
Specifically, this report details the differences in total population by census block, block group, tract, county, and state before and after reallocation. In states where comparisons are possible, these population differences are broken down by race and ethnicity.

Even in states where where the total population is unchanged, the distribution of population within the state can be affected.
To give you a sense for how these population shifts affect Nevada’s redistricting, the average district sizes in Nevada are:
The dataset used to create this report is the official redistricting dataset.
See the appendix for a detailed breakdown of county level population changes.
In general, the changes in block population are not uniform: most blocks are unaffected by modification, while a handful of blocks lose a large amount of population that goes to a larger number of blocks in smaller quantities.
