2020 Census and Redistricting Thread: California

[SevenEleven]

I ended up settling for this Central Valley map.

Interesting but not too shocking to see the coastal OC seat be so heavily White.
In general I quite like your OC seats.
Is it possible to put La Habra in CA-46?

Coastal OC is very white, and crucially, probably the most white-liberal part of OC. While it is more GOP than some other OC districts, I expect the white population here votes rather in line with CA whites overall. It's possible to move La Habra into CA-46, but that seriously dilutes the Asian population and La Habra is arguably more closely linked to cities like Whittier and Norwalk anyway.

It doesn't look like you have an Asian district in the SFV, am I reading it wrong?

The Asian district is Garden Grove/Cerritos. The West SFV district is plurality white and is CA-26, not CA-46.

I meant SGV, oops.

So what happens if the map I have in the OP (as it exists right now) is somehow put into effect post-2020?

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

I meant SGV, oops.

CA-30 is 42% Asian but I can revisit it and make it stronger. After all, it's actually 45% Latino.

42% Asian is fine for that district honestly.

Blue: 41% Asian
Green: 44% Asian
Purple: 32% Asian
Red: 62% Hispanic

Is Cisneros in 37 and Torres in 38? Is Lowenthal's successor in 46?

Where does Sherman go?

The only district that isn't there for an incumbent is Napolitano's.

Napolitano retires. Where do Cardenas and Sherman go? Does Sherman take Malibu?

[SevenEleven]

What % Hispanic is district 20?

[I’m not Stu]

Does Ruiz take in Imperial?

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

Does Ruiz take in Imperial?

Yep.

What % Hispanic is district 20?

62%

Where does Sherman go?

Either 26 or 27 with Brownley taking the other. They'd probably work something out between them.

[I’m not Stu]

Is Lowenthal the only one other than Napolitano who doesn't have a district?

Basically, although I only cut one district. Lowenthal's was just really heavily shifted into OC. Some others don't resemble current districts at all though, particularly in the Central Valley.

Would Lowenthal likely retire? He will be 82, and his district loses Long Beach to Barragan.

Definitely. I expect Napolitano and Lowenthal to retire, with a new OC based rep taking over the new Asian Belt district and the bulk of Napolitano's district becoming part of Cisneros'.
