Are there charts/maps/graphs anywhere of each congressional districts population density? I'm curious to see the correlation between population density and the party representing a district.

The Census website has the numbers (and a lot more) for the 106th Congress, which is a little out of date but still.

Here is a density map

It would be very surprising if there was not a strong trend of more dense->more Democratic, but the Dakotas and a few other large Democratic districts may moderate the trend a bit. I believe the majority of the nation's land area is still represented by Republicans, though the Democrats might have taken that had they won WY-AL instead of losing it narrowly.

Actually, I would guess there would an even stronger trend (more dense = more Democratic) at the Presidential level by congressional district.

Probably, since that cuts out the huge Democratic districts like SD-AL and ND-AL.
