American Community Survey 2005

The Census Bureau's 2005 American Community Survey updates congressional district data last reported in the 2000 census. The figures released on August 15, 2006 include race and ethnicity estimates. The table below shows the percentage of African Americans by district for 2000 and 2005 as well as the change in the percentage between those years.

The largest increase in percentage African American population is in Georgia's 13th Congressional District, represented by Congressman David Scott (D). Congressman Scott is one of the Congressional Black Caucus members who has frequently voted against the majority of CBC members, as can be seen here. There are numerous changes in rankings in terms of the percentage African American population, which can be seen by clicking on Sort at the top of a column.

Note carefully, however, that the 2005 estimates are less precise than figures from the 2000 census. We therefore show the actual population estimate by congressional district from the 2005 American Community Survey as well as the reported margin of error for use in assessing the validity of the reported figures. In addition, Georgia has redistricted for the 110th Congress and five Texas districts (15, 21, 23, 25, 28) have just been changed by court order. Percents African American (the 2000 census figures were used for Georgia's new districts) are: CD 1 25.1%, CD 2 47.8%, CD 3 19.2%, CD 4 53.0%, CD 5 56.1%, CD 6 6.8%, CD 7 11.7%, CD 8 32.6%, CD 9 3.0%, CD 10 19.9%, CD 11 11.8%, CD 12 44.8%, CD 13 41.3%. Percents African American for the new Texas districts are: CD 15 3.1%, CD 21 4.3%, CD 23 2.0%, CD 25 8.0%, CD 28 6.6%. Louisiana figures have certainly changed in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina.
