Commission District Populations

Story 1
The current County Commission District Map was adopted in early 2002 based upon the 2000 Census data. Additional district maps at different scales and containing other useful information can be found at http://gis.broward.org/BC_Maps/Maps.aspx. Since 2000, the County’s population has shifted significantly, resulting in population inequities among the nine districts. Population in districts in the eastern portion of the County has remained steady or dropped, while population in the western and southwestern districts has grown dramatically.
As a result, the district populations are no longer consistent with the generally accepted redistricting principle that district populations should not vary more than five percent from the average. Thus, the districts must be redrawn.
