Census offers fresh data by congressional district

My Congressional District is a new tool that provides access to updated U.S. Census Bureau statistics from the American Community Survey, the bureau's ongoing survey of the American population.

Users can search by district for data on age, race, ethnicity, the number of residents born in the U.S. or the state, the ancestry of the district's population, the number of veterans and disabled, and where residents lived one year ago -- a very good tool to track migration.

To use the tool, type in the name of a state, and the district number (a map shows how each state's districts are broken up), then scroll through the available statistics. To use the tool click here.
