#greenscreen How dense is YOUR
#congressionaldistrict? In the
#USA, each
#state is given a certain amount of congressional districts, proportional to its
#population. For example,
#RhodeIsland has 1.2m residents, and gets two
#congressional #districts, meaning RI gets two members of the
#HouseofRepresentatives, as well as four total
#electors to the
#electoralcollege (four because each state gets two for two senators, +X, X being the number of house reps). This map shows the
#populationdensity of each district, highlighting the population concentration in
#US urban areas.
#NYC itself has 14 districts,
#SoCal gets ~40,
#NorCal has ~10, and
#Chicago gets ~10, while entire states, like
#Vermont,
#Wyoming, and
#Delaware, only get 1 district covering their whole state. What are some surprising ones you saw?
