This is a thread where people here can share maps they drew that use these seat counts.

I'll start with maps I drew of Iowa: https://davesredistricting.org/maps#viewmap::e562f0c5-8401-4faf-bc6f-16ae7bcafbaf

And Alabama: https://davesredistricting.org/maps#viewmap::3f60b4b4-22a0-424f-9f9f-54959e96eb15

I figured Iowa would be an easy place to start with the no county splits rule, and I wanted to see if a VRA district is still possible in Alabama with such a low number of seats (it is).

Interesting that Ohio gains as being a working class industrial state I assumed it was average to below average in income.  That being said not shocked at others.

How would you go about drawing districts based on equal federal tax revenue? The multinational corporation headquarters accounting gets complicated real fast.

Thanks in part to Ohio’s industrial history, a lot of big and well-known companies are headquartered there.

Columbus is particular brings the rest of the state up big time.

Michigan (assuming tax revenue is only used to apportion between states and not decide seats within them).
I used the rules of the existing Commission to guide this. The Detroit seat is 56% black.

If it did, then NYC and Silicon Valley would have like 30 seats each, right?

SC with only three seats is so awkward...

Yeah you'd have a crazy concentration of seats in those places.

Which interestingly enough is part of state swinging hardest towards Democrats, total opposite of what most of state is doing.

Minnesota nearly doubling seats in impressive and amazing

Kinda suprised NC did so bad cause Charlotte has a lot of banks and Raleigh is becoming increasingly an economic hub. I guess the rest of the state pulls it down.

Yes, NC is surprisingly poor, closer to the LA/AR/MS/AL/SC bloc than the TX/FL/TN/GA/VA bloc.

I think AR, LA, and OK are significantly inflated by oil/gas production here, in a way that doesn't reflect the average person's standard of living.

If you were breaking it down within states it would be more interesting. Sure, NY gets a lot more representatives but that's not because of Western NY. Realistically, there'd be a few blocks in Midtown or the Financial District with their own congressional districts.

Minnesota with 13 seats and Wisconsin with 7, despite the two having almost the same population (Wisconsin being slightly larger).   That's pretty impressive for Minnesota.

Would that one building in Wilmington, Delaware where like half of the Fortune 500 is incorporated get its own congressional district?

MN truly sticks out like a sore thumb. And on that note, here's my 13 district MN map: https://davesredistricting.org/join/042c7768-0d8e-4c55-9905-bc844f3f8275
