Fact: Republicans hold 18 of the 25 congressional districts that grew the most between 2010-2020 *and* 15 of the 25 districts that shrunk the most. https://t.co/ZKzm0pLHEU https://t.co/W0YMOxoZs0 — PolitiTweet.org

My two heroes of the week: 1) the Census Bureau, for an incredibly informative presentation of the data 2) Dave's Redistricting App @davesredist for working feverishly to import all of the data into their app. — PolitiTweet.org

By my math, Upstate New York (everything north of Rockland/Westchester counties) now only has enough population for 9.2 of 26 congressional districts, down from 9.9 of 27 in 2010. That should make it a lot easier for NY Dems to axe a GOP-held Upstate district. — PolitiTweet.org

#ME02 voted for Trump by 7 points and is likely to shift by just a fraction of a point in redistricting. — PolitiTweet.org

In light of the eye-popping Census counts along the I-35 corridor, it would seem like even more of a no-brainer for TX Republicans to draw a new 75%+ Dem district in Austin to shore up surrounding Republican districts for the next decade. — PolitiTweet.org

It's not lost on hardcore election geeks that Hays, TX is a formerly red county that's flipped bright blue and Robeson, NC is a formerly blue county that's flipped bright red. — PolitiTweet.org

By my count, there are six U.S. counties that are, for the first time, populous enough to contain an entire congressional district: San Joaquin, CA El Paso, CO Cobb, GA Multnomah, OR Denton, TX Fort Bend, TX — PolitiTweet.org

Per the 2020 Census, non-Hispanic whites are now less than 50% of the population in 139 of 435 congressional districts, up from 112 in the 2010 Census. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

By my math on the 2020 Census, 60.1% of U.S. residents live in the 539 counties that voted for Biden in 2020, and those counties accounted for 65.1% of the nation's net population increase in the past decade. — PolitiTweet.org

The pre-census estimates suggested New York City would have enough residents for 11.1 congressional districts; now we know it'll have enough residents for 11.3 districts. Sounds minor, but that ought to help Dems quite a bit in NY redistricting. Less clout Upstate. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Poring over the data, and it's clear NYC's stronger-than-expected count almost single-handedly saved New York from losing two congressional seats; in fact it came close to saving New York all 27 of its seats. — PolitiTweet.org

Wow, @mikeconlow for the win. Thanks!! — PolitiTweet.org

Anyone have a spreadsheet with 2020 Census population totals for all counties and congressional districts yet? (this is taking me a while to aggregate...) — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Fascinating demographic breakdown by state from Census Bureau. Lots of states w/ higher-than-expected non-white counts, including FL/GA/NJ/NY now nearly 50%+ non-white. https://t.co/DavJeI2qbM — PolitiTweet.org

Important note: doesn't necessarily reflect unexpected surge in Asian population as much as surge in residents listing multiple/other races, in part b/c of changes to questionnaire design. — PolitiTweet.org

Per Census: Hispanics are 18.7% of the U.S. population, *higher* than the 18.6% from the Census's most recent population estimates and up from 16.3% in the 2010 census. — PolitiTweet.org

Early read: based on the strong urban and weaker rural numbers I'm seeing, this is a *much* more favorable Census count than minority advocacy groups/Dems had feared. — PolitiTweet.org
