| 2000 Census: Redistricting Data Summary Files |
|
"Every ten years, the U.S. Census collects statistical information about households, education, income, homeownership and more. On March 14, the U.S. Census Bureau delivered to Governor George H. Ryan and the majority and minority leaders of the Illinois General Assembly the offical census 2000 Redistricting Data Summary File for Illinois."
This census data, under Public Law 94-171, allows state officials to
realign congressional and state legislative districts, taking into account
population shifts since the 1990 census, and assuring equal representation
for Illinoisans in compliance with the "one-person, one-vote" principle of
the 1965 Voting Rights Act. This is the first data being provided to the
State resulting from the official 2000 census.
Also released are the first population counts for small areas, and the first race and Hispanic-origin data from Census 2000.
