Census 2000 Data for Congressional Districts

The 109th Congressional District products provide data from Census 2000 for congressional districts of the 109th Congress. Congressional district boundaries in Maine, Pennsylvania, and Texas changed after the 108th Congress was seated in January of 2003. These changes occurred for the 109th Congress that was seated in January of 2005.

The data are presented in two separate data products.

• The "100-percent" product contains data collected from the entire U.S. population, as shown on the Census 2000 short-form questionnaire (PDF - 424 KB). These data include age, sex, race, family and household groups, and whether the home is owned or rented. The detailed tables for this product are the same as those in the SF 1 data product. A full description of all the tables can be found in the 109th Congressional District Summary File 100-percent technical documentation (PDF - 5.6MB).
• The "Sample" data product contains data collected on the Census 2000 long-form questionnaire (PDF - 627 KB). These data were collected from 1 of 6 households in the U.S. as part of Census 2000. The product contains data on such topics as income, ancestry, citizenship status, home values, commute time to work, occupation, education, veteran status, language ability, migration, place of birth, and many others. The detailed tables for this product are the same as those in the SF 3 data product.

Census 2000 Data for Earlier Congresses

Data from the 108th Congressional District Summary Files are no longer available in American FactFinder, but can still be downloaded from the Census Bureau's FTP site. The districts of the 108th Congress were the first to be drawn based on Census 2000 population counts. Note that the only difference between the 108th and 109th data sets are for the states where congressional districts were redrawn for the 109th Congress (Maine, Pennsylvania, and Texas).

Data for districts of the 106th Congress are available in Summary File 1 (100-percent) and Summary File 3 (Sample). The 106th was the Congress seated on Census day (April 1, 2000), and its districts were drawn based on 1990 Census counts.
