Resource Abstract:
- description: Congressional Districts are the 435 areas from which people are elected to the U.S. House of Representatives.
After the apportionment of congressional seats among the States based on census population counts, each State is responsible
for establishing congressional districts for the purpose of electing representatives. Each congressional district is to be
as equal in population to all other congressional districts in a State as practicable. The congressional districts for the
113th Congress (January 2013 to 2015) are the first Congressional Districts based on 2010 Census data. The TIGER/Line shapefiles
for the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Island Areas (American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) each contain a single record for the non-voting delegate district in these areas. The
boundaries of all other congressional districts are provided to the Census Bureau through the Redistricting Data Program (RDP);
