Abstract


Paper
Redistricting and Census 2000: County of Riverside's Solution
Track: Application Development
Author(s): Robert Pincus, William Mumbleau, Jeff Letterman

This paper will cover the Avenue scripts written to aid in the redistricting process of Riverside County. The underlying geographic unit of the ArcView project and scripts used were the Census 2002 Block groups and their associated population data. By selecting single aggregate areas of these block groups and displaying the population, users were able to quickly get an idea of the effect the reassignment would have on the supervisor's constituency. The selected block groups could also be permanently assigned to a supervisor. The population for each supervisorial district could then be viewed and further modifications made. Scripts were also written to save various proposals for reference or further modification.
