''''Summary demographic tables from census data for each district showing:''voting-age persons by race and age groups''Population, education, housing patterns, income and occupation.''''All of the array of information is quickly accessible through a group of indexes for each major component in the book.''Congressional Districts in the 2000s is the authoritative one-stop source of information about the new congressional districts that will be in place for the next decade.
