One feature that could be nice is the ability to compare turnout between elections.

Does it run in browser or does the software have to be downloaded?

In-browser

I wish they displayed median household income and housing costs data instead of an average.

That said, the demographic data is mostly excellent.

That's a good idea. I'll add it to my feature to-dos 👍

Unfortunately true medians won't work because I have to dissagregate and reaggregate the data. Besides, it wouldn't be possible to accurately add medians up to calculate district stats.

Thank you!

Another cool feature could be to have a way to load a map just for the sake of viewing data and not drawing districts. Could probably help save your servers a bit of space because often I create maps just to view data.

[redistricter]

I've added a few new demographics datasets:
- Personal Income per Capita
- Housing Units Per Structure
- Housing Units Per Capita

Using the 2008 Data in IL I made a congressional district that was 99.5% Obama 0.4% McCain. 286,684 votes to 1,267. You could make an assembly district within that where it 99.9 to 0.1. Crazy margins, almost unbelievable.

In 2020 it was 95.6-3.7. 205k to 8k. Kind of illustrates the difference the small persuasion gains and turnout drops can have. 285k margin to 197k margin is quite a fall. 7 point swing right is small but also significant.

I believe IL precincts collectively worth close to 400k people gave Obama literally 100% of the vote.

Must be Chicago's South or West side, right?

South Side, stayed within city limits. Taking in some of the southern Black suburbs or making a tentacle over to the West Side could've brought it to 99.7% but I kept it compact.

[redistricter]

I've added 2000 election data to West Virginia and Virginia. Also currently working on some code to add precinct splitting to the city select tool and imported maps

[redistricter]

Imported maps now split precincts automatically, so imported districts are now accurate to the census-block level. It can even handle maps with hundreds/thousands of precinct splits without any performance issues.

I've added 2024 GOP primary data to South Carolina and the ability to share maps via link

Bless you good sir.

I've updated the UI to make Redistricter cleaner and easier to use. More details here.

Awesome work!!

[redistricter]

I've added preset maps to Redistricter for every state's congressional districts used in 2020, 2022, and 2024.

To access them open the map browser and select "Use official map"

I love this!!

[redistricter]

I've added 2000-2020 income data to Redistricter for commercial-tier subscribers as well as a dataset for showing change in income over time.

Also for subscribers on the commercial plan there's now an option to download district data as a CSV rather than a geojson shapefile.

[redistricter]

Redistricter is now the first and only place to get precinct-level 2022 Nevada election data!

[CookieDamage]

Is redistricter better optimized/does it run faster? I love it but one of the reasons I didn't renew it was that is was very slow, laggy and prone to crashing on chrome.
