UPDATED WITH INFORMATION RELATED TO 2023 COURT-ORDERED REMEDY FOR RACIAL GERRYMANDERING

Welcome to the Georgia Explorer! Use our updated interactive map to see Georgia’s newly-enacted Congressional and Legislative districts. Explore the new maps by panning or zooming in or go to a specific location or community using the search tool. We’ve revised the underlying interactive map layers with the latest 2020 U.S. Census demographic data used to draw the newly adopted district maps. In addition, you can compare the previously enacted district maps and even see maps that were proposed but not adopted by the Georgia General Assembly.

You can navigate the map using the drop-down menus and toggle buttons at the top:

The menu on the left allows you to select the current legislative or congressional boundaries to display.

The next menu allows you to select the demographic or partisan lean layer to display as a background:

Streets - This layer shows the standard street map as background, with no data overlays. You can use this layer to really see where you are in the map.

Percent Black Voting Age Population - This layer shows the proportion of the Voting-Age Population that is identified as any part Black, both Hispanic and non-Hispanic in the 2020 census. It is displayed at the census tract level and changes to the census block level when you zoom in.

Note that this definition of Black Voting Age Population, or BVAP, is a change from that used by the Princeton Gerrymandering Project and FDGA to establish fairness benchmarks for the evaluation of 2021 proposed and enacted maps. For benchmarking and evaluation we defined BVAP as voters who identified as Black or African-American alone, both Hispanic and non-Hispanic. This corresponded with the census categories used in studies of voter behavior and election outcomes. We understand that the 2022 enacted maps were drawn using a broader definition of BVAP that includes all people 18 years or older who identify as Black or African American alone or two or more races that include Black or African American. We determined that our maps should match this standard, especially given the growing diversity of Georgia.

Percent Hispanic Voting Age Population - This layer shows the proportion of the Voting-Age Population that is identified as Hispanic in the 2020 census. It is displayed at the census tract level and changes to the census block level when you zoom in.

Percent Asian Voting Age Population - This layer shows the proportion of the Voting-Age Population that is identified as any part Asian in the 2020 census. It is displayed at the census tract level and changes to the census block level when you zoom in.

Note that this definition of Asian Voting Age Population, or AVAP, is a change from that used by the Princeton Gerrymandering Project and FDGA to establish fairness benchmarks for the evaluation of 2021 proposed and enacted maps. For benchmarking and evaluation we defined AVAP as voters who identified as Asian alone. We understand that the 2022 enacted maps were drawn using a broader definition of AVAP that includes all people 18 years or older that identify as Asian alone or two or more races that include Asian. We determined that our maps should match this standard, especially given the growing diversity of Georgia.

Percent Minority Voting Age Population - This layer shows the proportion of the Voting-Age Population that is not identified as White-and-non-Hispanic in the 2020 census. It is displayed at the census tract level and changes to the census block level when you zoom in.

Partisan Lean (2018-2020) - This layer shows the average percent of Democratic votes across three recent statewide elections using voting precinct level data: 2018 Governor, 2020 Presidential, and 2021 Senate run-off (Loeffler/Warnock). It is displayed at the voting precinct level.

The Show data at district-level toggle displays the selected background layer at the selected district level.

The Show city boundaries toggle displays the city boundaries, as provided by the US census designated place spatial dataset.
