The 100k Districts Series

[old timey villain]

Aw, please stick to "the rules". Increasing deviation for more reasonable districts is such a cowardly, moderate thing to do.

'nyways, Georgia. 97 districts. This is kinda clockwise from west of Atlanta, with the heart of the metro at the end.



1 Carroll (bulk of) 100672, 72 w, 18 b, 65.6 McCain
2 E Paulding 97697, 72 w, 19 b, 66.1 McCain

26 Baldwin - Hancock - Taliaferro - E Greene - S Wilkes - S Jefferson 102187, 51 b, 44 w, 58.1 Obama. Failed to get this over 50% VAP.

50 W Bibb - Peach - W Houston 103338, 60 w, 31 b, 60.8 McCain. The bizarre shape of Crawford County means that this district is technically noncontiguous - though the DRA's tool for finding trapped precincts considers it contiguous.
51 Macon 101875, 66 b, 30 w, 73.0 Obama

52 Muscogee S - Chattahoochee 100991, 65 b, 23 w, 87.5 Obama

58 S Clayton - E Fayette 97239, 56 b, 30 w, 63.8 Obama. Area in Fayette is majority White but is "Blackest" part.

63 NE Douglas 101290, 45 b, 41 w, 59.5 Obama. Still plurality White VAP. For now.

74 Cobb E ("Vinings - Mount Bethel"?) 96336, 66 w, 17 b, 57.0 McCain
75 Cobb C (Marietta. Sorry for the precincts with noncontiguous bits, they follow the noncontiguous city boundary.) 99573, 35 w, 31 b, 28 h, 60.6 Obama
76 Cobb S (Smyrna) 101689, 46 w, 32 b, 16 h, 54.6 Obama
77 Cobb SW (Austell - Powder Springs) 95034, 51 b, 30 w, 15 h, 66.9 Obama. Not majority VAP, not that it matters.
78 Cobb W ("Red Rock - Lost Mountain"?) 95352, 77 w, 14 b, 70.7 McCain
79 Cobb N (Kennesaw - Acworth)102513, 61 w, 20 b, 11 h, 57.3 McCain

81 Henry NW (Stockbridge - Hampton) 99304, 43 w, 43 b, 54.4 Obama. Plurality White (total population) by 31 persons on Census Day, but obviously not by today.

82 Rockdale (and a tiny angle into DeKalb to boost the Black plurality. Still no VAP majority... in 2010.) 100696, 53 b, 35 w, 59.3 Obama
83 DeKalb SE (Redon - Stone Mountain) 96083, 89 b, 95.1 Obama

97 Gwinnett S ("Snellville S - Centerville"?) 94626, 45 b, 38 w, 10 h, 57.0 Obama

The metro maps really highlight how diverse the Atlanta area has become. I think it surprises some people who see the city as strictly black and white. We're marching toward plurality status which will shape the politics. Also, good to see a lot of white Democrats in many of these districts.
