Census Bureau to release data used to redraw congressional maps, kickstarting redistricting
CBSN
The Census Bureau will release its most detailed data so far detailing the results of the 2020 census on Thursday afternoon, kickstarting what is expected to be a highly contentious battle as states begin redrawing the boundaries of congressional districts.
The data will include a breakdown of demographic categories like race, Hispanic origin and age, down to a neighborhood block. The bureau will also be posting demographic data for every city with over 5,000 residents. These are the first detailed numbers from last year's census that the bureau has released since April, when it unveiled the number of congressional seats each state will receive based on the decennial population count.
