Here’s a look at what to expect from each outgrowth of the new census.
Redistricting
Redistricting is the “redrawing of congressional and state legislative districts to adjust for uneven growth rates in different parts of the state,” according to flsenate.gov.
“Whenever a new census comes out, that means that we do redistricting so that all of the districts have equal population and people can be represented fairly in terms of their population,” said Dr. Michael P. McDonald, a political science professor at the University of Florida.
Redistricting occurs when congressional and state legislative districts are redrawn every 10 years to adjust and ensure equal population and representation.
