1 | HOUSE RESOLUTION
| ||||||
2 | WHEREAS, Under Article IV, Section 3 of the Illinois | ||||||
3 | Constitution of 1970, in the year following each federal | ||||||
4 | decennial census year, the General Assembly by law shall | ||||||
5 | redistrict the Legislative Districts and the Representative | ||||||
6 | Districts by June 30; and | ||||||
7 | WHEREAS, The United States Census Bureau failed to deliver | ||||||
8 | the 2020 Census Public Law 94-171 population data to the | ||||||
9 | States, including Illinois, by March 31, 2021 as required by | ||||||
10 | the federal Census Act; and | ||||||
11 | WHEREAS, While the 2020 Census Public Law 94-171 | ||||||
12 | population data was not available as required by federal law, | ||||||
13 | the General Assembly remained constitutionally mandated to | ||||||
14 | enact a redistricting plan prior to June 30, 2021; and | ||||||
15 | WHEREAS, On April 26, 2021, the United States Census | ||||||

19 | WHEREAS, House Bill 2777 of the 102nd General Assembly was | ||||||
20 | amended with legislative language creating the General | ||||||
21 | Assembly Redistricting Act of 2021, which established the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | boundaries of all 59 Legislative Districts and 118 | ||||||

11 | accordance with Article IV, Section 10 of the Illinois | ||||||
12 | Constitution of 1970; and | ||||||
13 | WHEREAS, Through the enactment of Public Act 102-10 on | ||||||
14 | June 4, 2021, the General Assembly met its constitutional | ||||||
15 | deadline under Article IV, Section 3(b) of the Illinois | ||||||
16 | Constitution of 1970 to redistrict the Legislative Districts | ||||||
17 | and the Representative Districts by June 30 in the year | ||||||
18 | following the Federal decennial census year; and | ||||||
19 | WHEREAS, At the time of the passage of House Bill 2777, the | ||||||
20 | House and Senate Democrats committed to reviewing the 2020 | ||||||

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | adjustments should be made to Public Act 102-10; and | ||||||
2 | WHEREAS, The United States Census Bureau released the 2020 | ||||||
3 | Census Public Law 94-171 population data on August 12, 2021 to | ||||||
4 | the States, including Illinois; and | ||||||

11 | WHEREAS, Article IV, Section 1 of the Illinois | ||||||
12 | Constitution of 1970 vests legislative power in the General | ||||||
13 | Assembly, and the General Assembly may pass legislation, as | ||||||
14 | provided in Article IV, Section 8, to amend the redistricting | ||||||
15 | plan enacted in Public Act 102-10, or adopt a new | ||||||
16 | redistricting plan; and | ||||||
17 | WHEREAS, The Illinois General Assembly has drafted an | ||||||
18 | amendment to the General Assembly Redistricting Act of 2021 to | ||||||
19 | adjust the plan for redistricting the Legislative Districts | ||||||
20 | and the Representative Districts to incorporate the 2020 | ||||||
21 | Census Public Law 94-171 population data (hereinafter, the | ||||||
22 | plan as amended shall be referred to as "the 2021 General |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Assembly Redistricting Plan"); therefore, be it
| ||||||
2 | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE | ||||||
3 | HUNDRED SECOND GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that | ||||||
4 | in establishing boundaries for Illinois Legislative and | ||||||
5 | Representative Districts ("Districts"), the following | ||||||
6 | redistricting principles were taken into account: | ||||||
7 | (i) each of the Districts contained in the 2021 | ||||||
8 | General Assembly Redistricting Plan was drawn to be | ||||||
9 | substantially equal in population; | ||||||
10 | (ii) each of the Districts contained in the 2021 | ||||||
11 | General Assembly Redistricting Plan was drawn to be | ||||||
12 | consistent with the United States Constitution; | ||||||
13 | (iii) each of the Districts contained in the 2021 | ||||||
14 | General Assembly Redistricting Plan was drawn to be | ||||||
15 | consistent with the federal Voting Rights Act, where | ||||||
16 | applicable; | ||||||
17 | (iv) each of the Districts contained in the 2021 | ||||||
18 | General Assembly Redistricting Plan was drawn to be | ||||||
19 | compact and contiguous, as required by the Illinois | ||||||
20 | Constitution; | ||||||
21 | (v) each of the Districts contained in the 2021 | ||||||
22 | General Assembly Redistricting Plan was drawn to be | ||||||
23 | consistent with the Illinois Voting Rights Act of 2011 | ||||||
24 | where applicable; and | ||||||
25 | (vi) each of the Districts contained in the 2021 |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | General Assembly Redistricting Plan was drawn taking into | ||||||
2 | account the partisan composition of the District and of | ||||||
3 | the Plan itself; and be it further
| ||||||
4 | RESOLVED, That in addition to the foregoing redistricting | ||||||
5 | principles, each of the Districts contained in the 2021 | ||||||
6 | General Assembly Redistricting Plan was drawn to reflect a | ||||||
7 | balance of the following redistricting principles: the | ||||||
8 | preservation of the core or boundaries of the existing | ||||||
9 | Districts; the preservation of communities of interest; | ||||||
10 | respect for county, township, municipal, ward, and other | ||||||
11 | political subdivision boundaries; the maintenance of | ||||||
12 | incumbent-constituent relationships and tracking of population | ||||||
13 | migration; proposals or other input submitted by members of | ||||||
14 | the public and stakeholder groups; public hearing testimony; | ||||||
15 | other incumbent requests; respect for geographic features and | ||||||
16 | natural or logical boundaries; and other redistricting | ||||||
17 | principles recognized by state and federal court decisions; | ||||||
18 | and be it further | ||||||
19 | RESOLVED, That the House used the 2020 Census Public Law | ||||||
20 | 94-171 population data, election data, and public input to | ||||||
21 | establish the boundaries for the 2021 General Assembly | ||||||
22 | Redistricting Plan; and be it further | ||||||
23 | RESOLVED, That the House hereby adopts and incorporates by |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | reference all information received by the House Redistricting | ||||||
2 | Committee or the Senate Redistricting Committee that was | ||||||
3 | submitted by the general public and stakeholders in person or | ||||||
4 | remotely at the hearings; by e-mail; by U.S. mail; by | ||||||
5 | facsimile; or via the public portal on the House and Senate | ||||||
6 | Democratic redistricting websites; and be it further | ||||||
7 | RESOLVED, That the House further adopts and incorporates | ||||||
8 | by reference transcripts of proceedings for all of the | ||||||
9 | redistricting hearings conducted by either the House or Senate | ||||||
10 | or both; and be it further | ||||||
11 | RESOLVED, That the Representative Districts proposed in | ||||||
12 | the 2021 General Assembly Redistricting Plan are substantially | ||||||
13 | equal in population, with a total deviation of less than 0.5%; | ||||||
14 | and be it further | ||||||
15 | RESOLVED, That the Representative Districts proposed in | ||||||
16 | the 2021 General Assembly Redistricting Plan are as compact | ||||||
17 | overall as the existing Representative Districts adopted in | ||||||
18 | 2011; and be it further | ||||||
19 | RESOLVED, That the Representative Districts proposed in | ||||||
20 | the 2021 General Assembly Redistricting Plan are contiguous; | ||||||
21 | and be it further |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | RESOLVED, That the following summary describes the general | ||||||
2 | characteristics of each Representative District and makes | ||||||
3 | reference to some but not all of the redistricting principles | ||||||
4 | that were considered in drawing that District. The term | ||||||
5 | "proposed RD", followed by a number, will refer to the | ||||||
6 | Representative District proposed in the 2021 General Assembly | ||||||
7 | Redistricting Plan, as amended, and the term "current RD", | ||||||
8 | followed by a number, will refer to the Representative | ||||||
9 | District under the plan adopted in 2011:
| ||||||
10 | Cook County and Chicago: Over the past decade, suburban | ||||||
11 | Cook County's population decreased, mostly in the western and | ||||||
12 | southern suburbs. The population in the City of Chicago | ||||||
13 | remained steady, mostly due to population gains in the city | ||||||
14 | center and the northern areas. As a result, the City of Chicago | ||||||
15 | continues to have the same number of representatives, but the | ||||||
16 | district lines are altered to address rapidly changing areas | ||||||
17 | with dense population and those areas that suffered population | ||||||
18 | losses. The changing populations, demographics, and migration | ||||||
19 | of residents within Cook County and the Collar Counties | ||||||
20 | (DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will Counties) requires | ||||||
21 | adjustments to the current map. These districts were drawn | ||||||
22 | using the articulated redistricting principles, with emphasis | ||||||
23 | on ensuring equal population, preserving the core of the | ||||||
24 | current districts if possible, and political considerations. | ||||||
25 | Chicago Lakefront: Representative Districts 5, 6, 25, and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 26 represent the area most notably along or near Lake | ||||||
2 | Michigan. These districts collectively had significant | ||||||
3 | population growth and as a result the boundaries have been | ||||||
4 | altered to accommodate the growing population, shifts in the | ||||||
5 | other districts, and for political purposes. The results of | ||||||
6 | the 2020 Census revealed additional population growth beyond | ||||||
7 | what was estimated in the 2015-2019 American Community Survey | ||||||
8 | data, necessitating further reconfiguration of these | ||||||
9 | districts. These districts have numerous communities of | ||||||
10 | interest, including concerns about maintenance of the beaches | ||||||
11 | and lakefront, pollution control, and maintaining the urban | ||||||
12 | lifestyle of the communities. These districts generally have | ||||||
13 | majority Black populations, with small but growing Hispanic | ||||||
14 | and Asian populations. The communities in these districts tend | ||||||
15 | to pool their political power and traditionally elect members | ||||||
16 | of the Democratic party. | ||||||
17 | The configuration of Representative District 5 as enacted | ||||||
18 | in 2011 contained 130,516 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
19 | This was overpopulated by 21,935 people compared to target | ||||||
20 | population. The configuration of RD 5 as enacted in Public Act | ||||||
21 | 102-10 contained 124,836 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
22 | This was overpopulated by 16,255 people. As amended, the | ||||||
23 | district is substantially the same as the current RD 5, | ||||||
24 | maintaining a majority of the current district and the core of | ||||||
25 | the current district. The district includes cultural, | ||||||
26 | economic, racial and ethnic communities of interest as it |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | stretches in a corridor from the Near North Side to the Loop, | ||||||
2 | Near South Side, Douglas, Grand Boulevard, Washington Park, | ||||||
3 | Woodlawn, and Greater Grand Crossing. Like the current | ||||||
4 | district, the proposed district maintains its high transit | ||||||
5 | availability according to the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for | ||||||
6 | Planning (CMAP). It includes numerous higher education | ||||||
7 | institutions, including Columbia College, Roosevelt | ||||||
8 | University, and DePaul University's Wintrust Arena, and | ||||||
9 | provides ample transit for other institutions of higher | ||||||
10 | education that are within one mile, including Illinois College | ||||||
11 | of Optometry. It also includes some of the most prominent art | ||||||
12 | and cultural attractions, including The Art Institute of | ||||||
13 | Chicago, The Museum of Contemporary Photography, the Chicago | ||||||
14 | Symphony Orchestra, and Cloud Gate, popularly known as "The | ||||||
15 | Bean." Despite being a highly urban district, proposed RD 5 | ||||||
16 | contains a large amount of green, open, or recreational space. | ||||||
17 | It also contains Mercy Hospital and St. Bernard Hospital, both | ||||||
18 | of which are safety net hospitals serving as a vital source of | ||||||
19 | care for low-income and uninsured Illinoisans. | ||||||
20 | The total population of RD 5 is 108,665. The voting age | ||||||
21 | population is 51.13% African American, 10.27% Asian, 5.00% | ||||||
22 | Hispanic. The 2020 Census allowed people to identify as | ||||||
23 | members of multiple racial groups. Including individuals who | ||||||
24 | identify as multiple races, the voting age population is | ||||||
25 | 53.42% African American. | ||||||
26 | Representative District 6 has gained 8,546 people over the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | past decade. This growth was underestimated in the American | ||||||
2 | Community Survey, as the district as reconfigured under Public | ||||||
3 | Act 102-10 was 10,477 people above the 2020 Census target | ||||||
4 | population. To bring the population closer to the 2020 Census | ||||||
5 | target population, the district boundaries from Public Act | ||||||
6 | 102-10 were changed by moving the district's northern border | ||||||
7 | slightly south, removing some of the most densely populated | ||||||
8 | sections of downtown Chicago. | ||||||
9 | As amended, the district is substantially the same as the | ||||||
10 | current RD 6, maintaining the core of the current district and | ||||||
11 | the majority of its population. Proposed RD 6, like current RD | ||||||
12 | 6, is an urban district with cultural, economic, and ethnic | ||||||
13 | diversity that stretches in a corridor from the Near North | ||||||
14 | Side to the Loop, Near South Side, Douglas, Armour Square, New | ||||||
15 | City, Gage Park, Chicago Lawn, West Englewood, Englewood, and | ||||||
16 | Greater Grand Crossing. The proposed district continues to | ||||||
17 | include the many higher education opportunities and cultural | ||||||
18 | institutions, including Illinois Institute of Technology, the | ||||||
19 | VanderCook College of Music, Guaranteed Rate Field, and the | ||||||
20 | Harold Washington Library Center. It also contains primary | ||||||
21 | offices for federal, State, and local governments, including | ||||||
22 | Chicago City Hall, the George W. Dunne Cook County Office | ||||||
23 | Building, the James R. Thompson Center, the Richard J. Daley | ||||||
24 | Center, and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. The proposed | ||||||
25 | district would also largely keep Chicago's historic Financial | ||||||
26 | District intact. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | The total population of RD 6 is 108,689. The voting age | ||||||
2 | population is 45.37% African American, 6.80% Asian, 26.19% | ||||||
3 | Hispanic. Over the past decade, this region has experienced | ||||||
4 | significant population growth and gentrification. Including | ||||||
5 | individuals who identify as multiple races, the voting age | ||||||
6 | population is 47.41% African American. | ||||||
7 | The configuration of Representative District 25 as enacted | ||||||
8 | in 2011 contained 112,221 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
9 | This was overpopulated by 3,640 people compared to target | ||||||
10 | population. The configuration of RD 25 as enacted in Public | ||||||
11 | Act 102-10 contained 108,487 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
12 | Census. This was underpopulated by 94 people. The proposed | ||||||
13 | district contains a majority of the current district and | ||||||
14 | retains the core of the current district's population, | ||||||
15 | including its many cultural, economic, religious and ethnic | ||||||
16 | communities of interest. The proposed district splits fewer | ||||||
17 | current wards than the current district, but continues to | ||||||
18 | include major medical, educational, and cultural institutions | ||||||
19 | such as portions of the University of Chicago campus, La | ||||||
20 | Rabida Children's Hospital, the Museum of Science and | ||||||
21 | Industry, the Frederick C. Robie House, the Smart Museum of | ||||||
22 | Art, and numerous theological seminaries. | ||||||
23 | The total population of RD 25 is 108,487. The voting age | ||||||
24 | population is 53.63% African American, 6.49% Asian, 18.15% | ||||||
25 | Hispanic. | ||||||
26 | The configuration of Representative District 26 as enacted |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | in 2011 contained 121,318 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
2 | This was overpopulated by 12,737 people compared to target | ||||||
3 | population. The configuration of RD 26 as enacted in Public | ||||||
4 | Act 102-10 contained 113,480 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
5 | Census. This was overpopulated by 4,899 people. The proposed | ||||||
6 | district contains a majority of the current district | ||||||
7 | population, with changes made to accommodate the growth of the | ||||||
8 | district and population changes in other districts. The | ||||||
9 | proposed district splits fewer wards than the current | ||||||
10 | district, but keeps intact the cultural, economic, racial, and | ||||||
11 | ethnic diversity. The district continues to house some of the | ||||||
12 | most famous open spaces and parks, cultural institutions, and | ||||||
13 | attractions in Chicago, including the University of Chicago, | ||||||
14 | Grant Park, Navy Pier, McCormick Place, Adler Planetarium, the | ||||||
15 | DuSable Museum of African American History, Burnham Harbor, | ||||||
16 | Northerly Island, Burnham Park, and Washington Park. | ||||||
17 | The total population of RD 26 is 108,741. The voting age | ||||||
18 | population is 46.08% African American, 10.85% Asian, 5.51% | ||||||
19 | Hispanic. The 2020 Census allowed people to identify as | ||||||
20 | members of multiple racial groups. Including individuals who | ||||||
21 | identify as multiple races, the voting age population is | ||||||
22 | 48.26% African American. | ||||||
23 | The House Redistricting Committee received testimony | ||||||
24 | requesting that the General Assembly increase the African | ||||||
25 | American population in RD 26 and move the northern boundary of | ||||||
26 | the district farther south, when compared to the district |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | under Public Act 100-0010. The requested change was not | ||||||
2 | accommodated because this would disrupt a number of | ||||||
3 | historically African American districts and potentially pair | ||||||
4 | multiple incumbent Democratic legislators. Additionally, | ||||||
5 | extending further south would cause at least one south side | ||||||
6 | district to fracture into Iroquois County, creating districts | ||||||
7 | with more rural population alongside city and suburban-based | ||||||
8 | population. Although the district does not contain a majority | ||||||
9 | African American voting age population, the district remains | ||||||
10 | one in which African American voters have an equal opportunity | ||||||
11 | to elect a candidate of their choice. | ||||||
12 | Chicago Southwest and Southwest Suburbs: Representative | ||||||
13 | Districts 1, 2, 21, 22, 23, and 24 represent the Southwest side | ||||||
14 | of the City of Chicago and southwest suburban Cook County. | ||||||
15 | These districts experienced population declines. The proposed | ||||||
16 | districts were established following the redistricting | ||||||
17 | principles and all share commonalities, including a | ||||||
18 | significant Latino population and a majority who traditionally | ||||||
19 | elects members of the Democratic party. These districts | ||||||
20 | represent many blue-collar, working class families. | ||||||
21 | Some participants at public hearings of the House | ||||||
22 | Redistricting Committee suggested changes to the region and | ||||||
23 | the possibility of creating a new majority-Hispanic district. | ||||||
24 | While the General Assembly cannot, and should not, create a | ||||||
25 | district solely for race-based reasons, the request was | ||||||
26 | considered. Any such configuration would have a major impact |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | on neighboring districts and create a ripple effect throughout | ||||||
2 | the redistricting plan. The most probable proposal submitted | ||||||
3 | to create a new district did so by fracturing Chicago's Little | ||||||
4 | Village neighborhood. That change would have a dramatic effect | ||||||
5 | on the redistricting plan as a whole and require substantial | ||||||
6 | changes to other districts. As a result, other communities of | ||||||
7 | interest would need to be fractured, and many of the | ||||||
8 | redistricting principles used when creating the plan would | ||||||
9 | have to be wholly ignored or altered to the detriment of other | ||||||
10 | principles taken into consideration for the entire | ||||||
11 | redistricting plan. The request to fracture Little Village was | ||||||
12 | taken into consideration, as well as the request to keep | ||||||
13 | Little Village intact, and located in one district, to | ||||||
14 | maximize the voting power and this community of interest. In | ||||||
15 | reviewing the possibilities, it was also clear that in order | ||||||
16 | to achieve population targets, a reconfigured district | ||||||
17 | extending north would cut into multiple districts, including | ||||||
18 | several that provide representation opportunities for | ||||||
19 | African-American communities, and result in the pairing of two | ||||||
20 | or more incumbents. These adjustments would also likely cause | ||||||
21 | disruption to the south, forcing these districts further south | ||||||
22 | and fracturing other communities of interest. | ||||||
23 | The configuration of Representative District 1 as enacted | ||||||
24 | in 2011 contained 109,593 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
25 | This was overpopulated by 1,012 people compared to target | ||||||
26 | population. The configuration of RD 1 as enacted in Public Act |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 102-10 contained 113,224 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
2 | This was overpopulated by 4,643 people. The core of the | ||||||
3 | proposed RD 1 is substantially similar to the current RD 1. The | ||||||
4 | district adds portions of current RDs 2, 6, 21, and 22, and | ||||||
5 | represents the neighborhoods of Archer Heights, West Elsdon, | ||||||
6 | Garfield Ridge, Archer Limits, Gage Park, Chicago Lawn and | ||||||
7 | LeClaire Courts. The proposed district includes more of the | ||||||
8 | 14th Ward. The communities of proposed RD 1 have many | ||||||
9 | commonalities, including being tied together by the | ||||||
10 | transportation industry. RD 1 continues to maintain clearly | ||||||
11 | defined borders with permanent fixtures, such as railroad | ||||||
12 | lines and expressways. The total population for RD 1 is | ||||||
13 | 108,580. It has a voting age population that is 5.56% African | ||||||
14 | American, 3.59% Asian, and 75.95% Hispanic. | ||||||
15 | Representative District 2, renumbered from the current RD | ||||||
16 | 24, was overpopulated by 2,034 people compared to target | ||||||
17 | population. The configuration of RD 2 as enacted in Public Act | ||||||
18 | 102-10 contained 112,075 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
19 | This was overpopulated by 3,494 people. The core of the | ||||||
20 | proposed RD 2 is substantially similar to the current RD 2. The | ||||||
21 | proposed district adds portions of current RDs 8, 21, 23, and | ||||||
22 | 24. Proposed RD 2 includes most of Cicero, all of Stickney, all | ||||||
23 | of Lyons, and significant portions of Berwyn, Riverside, and | ||||||
24 | Brookfield. These municipalities have similar demographics, | ||||||
25 | with predominant or growing Hispanic populations, and many | ||||||
26 | commonalities, including shared school districts. During the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Berwyn/Cicero hearing on April 3, 2021 of the House | ||||||
2 | Redistricting Committee, the Mexican American Legal Defense | ||||||
3 | and Educational Fund commented that they wished that this | ||||||
4 | district maintained a strong Hispanic voting age population. | ||||||
5 | It was a political priority to ensure these communities have | ||||||
6 | an opportunity to elect the candidate of their choice. The | ||||||
7 | district is renumbered and paired with a different Legislative | ||||||
8 | District for purposes of maintaining communities of interest | ||||||
9 | and the political power of the region. The proposed district | ||||||
10 | moved west out of the 22nd Ward in Chicago - including losing | ||||||
11 | parts of the neighborhood known as "Little Village" - and | ||||||
12 | entirely into suburban Cook County in an effort to meet the | ||||||
13 | intentions of the incumbent State representative who wished to | ||||||
14 | represent more of Cicero. While Cicero is split into the same | ||||||
15 | number of districts as the 2011 plan, more of the population is | ||||||
16 | now consolidated into the proposed RD 2. The total population | ||||||
17 | of RD 2 is 108,632. The voting age population is 3.44% African | ||||||
18 | American, 1.23% Asian, 64.57% Hispanic. | ||||||
19 | Representative District 21, which was current RD 23, was | ||||||
20 | overpopulated by 1,123 people compared to target population. | ||||||
21 | The configuration of RD 21 as enacted in Public Act 102-10 | ||||||
22 | contained 110,895 people according to the 2020 Census. This | ||||||
23 | was overpopulated by 2,314 people. Changes to the district are | ||||||
24 | due in large part to those population shifts and changes in | ||||||
25 | neighboring districts. The district is renumbered and paired | ||||||
26 | with a different Legislative District for purposes of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | maintaining communities of interest and the political | ||||||
2 | composition of the region. The core of the proposed RD 21 is | ||||||
3 | substantially similar to the current RD 23. Proposed RD 21 | ||||||
4 | contains suburban Cook County communities west of Chicago, | ||||||
5 | including portions of Bridgeview, Justice, Summit, McCook, La | ||||||
6 | Grange, Brookfield, Riverside, North Riverside, Berwyn and | ||||||
7 | Cicero. These communities share many commonalities, including | ||||||
8 | school districts, several major roadways and key intersections | ||||||
9 | that serve as major transportation and freight corridors | ||||||
10 | connecting the communities throughout the region. These | ||||||
11 | municipalities have similar demographics, with predominant or | ||||||
12 | growing Hispanic populations, and many other commonalities, | ||||||
13 | including shared school districts. The district has a majority | ||||||
14 | Latino population, and as suggested by the Latino Policy Forum | ||||||
15 | at a hearing of the House Redistricting Committee, this will | ||||||
16 | provide opportunities for the Latino community to elect | ||||||
17 | candidates of their choice. The total population of RD 21 is | ||||||
18 | 108,781. The voting age population is 6.43% African American, | ||||||
19 | 2.32% Asian, 51.74% Hispanic. | ||||||
20 | The configuration of Representative District 22 as enacted | ||||||
21 | in 2011 contained 110,338 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
22 | This was overpopulated by 1,757 people compared to target | ||||||
23 | population. The configuration of RD 22 as enacted in Public | ||||||
24 | Act 102-10 contained 108,518 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
25 | Census. This was underpopulated by 63 people. The core of the | ||||||
26 | proposed RD 22 is substantially similar to the current RD 22. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | The district contains the majority of Chicago's Garfield | ||||||
2 | Ridge, all of Clearing, Chrysler Village, and West Elsdon | ||||||
3 | neighborhoods, and smaller portions of the West Lawn and | ||||||
4 | Archer Heights neighborhoods, along with suburban Burbank. The | ||||||
5 | district includes the entirety of Chicago's 13th Ward, and | ||||||
6 | portions of Wards 14, 18, and 23. This proposed district | ||||||
7 | includes Midway Airport, which many witnesses described as the | ||||||
8 | central hub of a community of interest. Witnesses cited the | ||||||
9 | area's shared interest in soundproofing and the economic | ||||||
10 | development surrounding the airport. | ||||||
11 | The total population of RD 22 is 108,518. The voting age | ||||||
12 | population is 1.92% African American, 1.55% Asian, 62.79% | ||||||
13 | Hispanic. | ||||||
14 | Representative District 23, which is current RD 21, was | ||||||
15 | underpopulated by 6,417 people compared to target population. | ||||||
16 | The configuration of RD 23 as enacted in Public Act 102-10 | ||||||
17 | contained 109,696 people according to the 2020 Census. This | ||||||
18 | was overpopulated by 1,115 people. Changes in neighboring | ||||||
19 | districts. The district is renumbered and paired with a | ||||||
20 | different Legislative District for purposes of maintaining | ||||||
21 | communities of interest and the political power of the region. | ||||||
22 | As amended, the district is substantially the same as the | ||||||
23 | current RD 21, maintaining the core of the district. Proposed | ||||||
24 | RD 21 is more compact than current RD 23. Boundaries of | ||||||
25 | neighborhoods have shifted over the past 10 years, and the new | ||||||
26 | lines reflect those shifting patterns. Plus, the district more |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | accurately reflects the socioeconomic and political priorities | ||||||
2 | of the community, including a significant Democratic | ||||||
3 | progressive population. The "26th Street Corridor", a | ||||||
4 | lucrative economic entity, is in the district to benefit the | ||||||
5 | surrounding community in District 23. At the request of | ||||||
6 | community groups, the proposed district includes the entirety | ||||||
7 | of the population of Little Village, which was previously | ||||||
8 | split into multiple districts, to respect a significant | ||||||
9 | community of interest. The demographics of the district | ||||||
10 | continue to be largely Latino with varying ethnic groups and | ||||||
11 | migration patterns accounted for in the composition, including | ||||||
12 | the movement in the Mexican American community from Chicago's | ||||||
13 | Pilsen community to Cicero. The total population of RD 23 is | ||||||
14 | 108,507. The voting age population is 7.05% African American, | ||||||
15 | 3.33% Asian, 84.44% Hispanic. | ||||||
16 | Representative District 24, which is the current RD 2, | ||||||
17 | lost over 1,000 in population. The configuration of RD 24 as | ||||||
18 | enacted in Public Act 102-10 contained 107,419 people | ||||||
19 | according to the 2020 Census. This was underpopulated by 1,162 | ||||||
20 | people. Changes to district are due in large part to | ||||||
21 | population shifts in this and neighboring districts. The | ||||||
22 | district is entirely within the City of Chicago and includes | ||||||
23 | most of the population of current RD 2, plus portions of | ||||||
24 | current RDs 6, 9, and 21. The core of the proposed RD 24 is | ||||||
25 | substantially similar to the current RD 2. Like the current | ||||||
26 | district, RD 24 unites Chinatown, and includes more of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | surrounding areas that coalesce around the Chinatown | ||||||
2 | community. The district contains communities of interest | ||||||
3 | connected to Chinatown, including Coalition For A Better | ||||||
4 | Chinese American Community (CBCAC) and the Chicago Chinatown | ||||||
5 | Chamber of Commerce. The district is renumbered and paired | ||||||
6 | with a different Legislative District for purposes of | ||||||
7 | maintaining communities of interest and the political power of | ||||||
8 | the region. | ||||||
9 | The total population of RD 24 is 108,608. The voting age | ||||||
10 | population is 3.49% African American, 26.93% Asian, 48.50% | ||||||
11 | Hispanic. | ||||||
12 | Chicago Northern Shore: Representative Districts 11, 12, | ||||||
13 | 13, and 14 represent the northern shore of the City of Chicago. | ||||||
14 | These districts experienced significant population gain. As a | ||||||
15 | result each of these districts were altered to reflect | ||||||
16 | increases in population, changes to neighboring districts, and | ||||||
17 | preservation of communities of interest. These districts | ||||||
18 | traditionally elect members of the Democratic party, and | ||||||
19 | partisan advantage was considered. The changes to these | ||||||
20 | districts also make the districts more compact. | ||||||
21 | The configuration of Representative District 11 as enacted | ||||||
22 | in 2011 contained 119,492 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
23 | This was overpopulated by 10,911 people compared to target | ||||||
24 | population. The configuration of RD 11 as enacted in Public | ||||||
25 | Act 102-10 contained 108,644 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
26 | Census. This was overpopulated by 63 people. As amended, the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | district is substantially the same as the current RD 11, | ||||||
2 | maintaining the core of the district and a majority of the | ||||||
3 | current district's population. The district includes | ||||||
4 | Ravenswood Gardens, unites large portions of Lake View, and | ||||||
5 | keeps most of Roscoe Village. In following population | ||||||
6 | migration district now includes parts of Wrigleyville, which | ||||||
7 | is an important economic driver for the area in tourism and | ||||||
8 | entertainment. | ||||||
9 | The total population of RD 11 is 108,793. The voting age | ||||||
10 | population is 3.51% African American, 6.99% Asian, 9.43% | ||||||
11 | Hispanic. | ||||||
12 | The configuration of Representative District 12 as enacted | ||||||
13 | in 2011 contained 118,591 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
14 | This was overpopulated by 10,010 people compared to target | ||||||
15 | population. The configuration of RD 12 as enacted in Public | ||||||
16 | Act 102-10 contained 111,326 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
17 | Census. This was overpopulated by 2,745 people. As amended, | ||||||
18 | the district is substantially the same as the current RD 12, | ||||||
19 | maintaining a majority of the district and preserving its | ||||||
20 | core. The proposed district includes the vast majority of | ||||||
21 | Boystown, Lakeview East, and Park West neighborhoods along | ||||||
22 | with large parts of Lincoln Park and Near Northside. | ||||||
23 | The total population of RD 12 is 108,656. The voting age | ||||||
24 | population is 4.62% African American, 8.23% Asian, 6.45% | ||||||
25 | Hispanic. | ||||||
26 | The configuration of Representative District 13 as enacted |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | in 2011 contained 110,128 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
2 | This was overpopulated by 1,547 people compared to target | ||||||
3 | population. The configuration of RD 13 as enacted in Public | ||||||
4 | Act 102-10 contained 103,708 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
5 | Census. This was underpopulated by 4,873 people. As amended, | ||||||
6 | the district is substantially the same as the current RD 13, | ||||||
7 | maintaining a majority of the current population of RD 13 as | ||||||
8 | well as the core of the current district. Proposed RD 13 is | ||||||
9 | made up of the neighborhoods Uptown, Sheridan Park, Winnemac, | ||||||
10 | Ravenswood, Arcadia Terrace, Wolcott Gardens, West Edgewater, | ||||||
11 | and Lincoln Square keeping these communities unified. | ||||||
12 | The total population of RD 13 is 108,814. The voting age | ||||||
13 | population is 10.91% African American, 10.26% Asian, 14.24% | ||||||
14 | Hispanic. | ||||||
15 | The configuration of Representative District 14 as enacted | ||||||
16 | in 2011 contained 110,058 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
17 | This was overpopulated by 1,477 people compared to target | ||||||
18 | population. The configuration of RD 14 as enacted in Public | ||||||
19 | Act 102-10 contained 107,823 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
20 | Census. This was underpopulated by 758 people. As amended, the | ||||||
21 | district is substantially the same as the current RD 14, | ||||||
22 | maintaining the core of the district and the majority of its | ||||||
23 | current population. In addition to preserving many of the | ||||||
24 | communities of interest, the proposed district brings together | ||||||
25 | communities of interest by keeping together the vast majority | ||||||
26 | of Rogers Park and Edgwater. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | The total population of RD 14 is 108,411. The voting age | ||||||
2 | population is 18.53% African American, 10.23% Asian, 16.96% | ||||||
3 | Hispanic. | ||||||
4 | Northside: Representative Districts 3, 4, 19, 20, 39, and | ||||||
5 | 40 represent the northern parts of the City of Chicago, with | ||||||
6 | some parts of neighboring suburbs. These districts experienced | ||||||
7 | significant population shifts, arguably due to increasing | ||||||
8 | gentrification of the area, and as a result the districts are | ||||||
9 | altered to reflect the population and changes in neighboring | ||||||
10 | districts. The shifting demographics of the area significantly | ||||||
11 | impact these districts, and attempts have been made to | ||||||
12 | maintain the communities of interest currently served by the | ||||||
13 | districts. This area contains various cultural, racial, and | ||||||
14 | ethnic communities of interest, and the districts were drafted | ||||||
15 | with the goal of preserving as many of these communities of | ||||||
16 | interest as possible. The current districts' cores are | ||||||
17 | preserved, but the population shifts and migration patterns of | ||||||
18 | the population result in changes to the borders of the | ||||||
19 | district. The proposed districts follow the redistricting | ||||||
20 | principles and all share commonalities, including a population | ||||||
21 | that traditionally elects members of the Democratic party. | ||||||
22 | The configuration of Representative District 3 as enacted | ||||||
23 | in 2011 contained 108,018 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
24 | This was underpopulated by 563 people compared to target | ||||||
25 | population. The configuration of RD 3 as enacted in Public Act | ||||||
26 | 102-10 contained 105,132 people according to the 2020 Census. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | This was underpopulated by 3,449 people. The majority of the | ||||||
2 | proposed RD 3 is similar to the current RD 3. The district is | ||||||
3 | majority Latino, but that was not the primary consideration | ||||||
4 | when drawing the district. The incumbent preservation and the | ||||||
5 | residence of the incumbent was a factor in adjustments to this | ||||||
6 | district, as well as the ability to increase the partisan | ||||||
7 | advantage. | ||||||
8 | The total population of RD 3 is 108,636. The voting age | ||||||
9 | population is 4.01% African American, 3.98% Asian, 54.13% | ||||||
10 | Hispanic. | ||||||
11 | The configuration of Representative District 4 as enacted | ||||||
12 | in 2011 contained 107,602 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
13 | This was underpopulated by 979 people compared to target | ||||||
14 | population. The configuration of RD 4 as enacted in Public Act | ||||||
15 | 102-10 contained 109,899 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
16 | This was overpopulated by 1,318 people. The majority of the | ||||||
17 | proposed RD 4 is within the current RD 4. As requested during | ||||||
18 | testimony before the House Redistricting Committee, the | ||||||
19 | district maintains a majority of Chicago Grand Neighbors | ||||||
20 | Association boundaries, and the boundaries of Talacott and | ||||||
21 | Wolcott school boundaries. Important to the area and the | ||||||
22 | incumbent, the district maintains the corridor along Division | ||||||
23 | Street from Western to Kostner, which is the historical, | ||||||
24 | cultural and economic center of the Puerto Rican community. At | ||||||
25 | the request of witnesses attending House hearings, the | ||||||
26 | district aligns more of the Puerto Rican community to maximize |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | their political power. The district is majority Latino, but | ||||||
2 | that was not the primary consideration when drawing the | ||||||
3 | district. At a public hearing it was stated that the proposed | ||||||
4 | district follows the migration patterns of the Puerto Rican | ||||||
5 | community. The residence of the incumbent was a factor in | ||||||
6 | adjustments to this district, as well as the ability to | ||||||
7 | increase the partisan advantage. | ||||||
8 | The total population of RD 4 is 108,533. The voting age | ||||||
9 | population is 11.99% African American, 2.66% Asian, 52.65% | ||||||
10 | Hispanic. | ||||||
11 | The configuration of Representative District 19 as enacted | ||||||
12 | in 2011 contained 111,140 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
13 | This was overpopulated by 2,559 people compared to target | ||||||
14 | population. The configuration of RD 19 as enacted in Public | ||||||
15 | Act 102-10 contained 106,275 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
16 | Census. This was underpopulated by 2,306 people. As amended, | ||||||
17 | the district is substantially the same as the current RD 19, | ||||||
18 | maintaining the core of the district and its population, with | ||||||
19 | alterations to accommodate the growth of the region and | ||||||
20 | population changes in other nearby districts. The district is | ||||||
21 | more compact and fractures fewer townships and neighborhoods | ||||||
22 | when compared to the current district. The district contains | ||||||
23 | parts or all of several of Chicago's northwest side | ||||||
24 | neighborhoods, including Jefferson Park, Dunning, Portage | ||||||
25 | Park, and Albany Park. The reconfigured district brings large | ||||||
26 | segments of Old Irving Park into the district to connect it |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | with neighboring community areas. | ||||||
2 | The total population of RD 19 is 108,549. The voting age | ||||||
3 | population is 2.26% African American, 8.36% Asian, 27.32% | ||||||
4 | Hispanic. | ||||||
5 | The configuration of Representative District 20 as enacted | ||||||
6 | in 2011 contained 112,289 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
7 | This was overpopulated by 3,708 people compared to target | ||||||
8 | population. The configuration of RD 20 as enacted in Public | ||||||
9 | Act 102-10 contained 111,497 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
10 | Census. This was overpopulated by 2,916 people. As amended, | ||||||
11 | the district is substantially the same as the current RD 20, | ||||||
12 | maintaining the core of the district and most of its current | ||||||
13 | population. The district includes the 29th, 38th and 41st | ||||||
14 | wards of the City of Chicago, all of Schiller Park and | ||||||
15 | Norridge, most of Rosemont, and portions of River Grove, and | ||||||
16 | Harwood Heights. The proposed district unites most of | ||||||
17 | Rosemont, which allows a partisan advantage to other | ||||||
18 | neighboring districts, and moves the casino located in Des | ||||||
19 | Plaines to a district that includes a majority of Des Plaines | ||||||
20 | (RD 55). | ||||||
21 | The total population of RD 20 is 108,620. The voting age | ||||||
22 | population is 1.09% African American, 5.02% Asian, 19.02% | ||||||
23 | Hispanic. | ||||||
24 | The configuration of Representative District 39 as enacted | ||||||
25 | in 2011 contained 105,519 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
26 | This was underpopulated by 3,062 people compared to target |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | population. The configuration of RD 39 as enacted in Public | ||||||
2 | Act 102-10 contained 109,336 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
3 | Census. This was overpopulated by 755 people. As amended, the | ||||||
4 | district is substantially the same as the current RD 39, | ||||||
5 | maintaining the core of the district and its population, and | ||||||
6 | includes significant portions of Portage Park, Belmont Cragin, | ||||||
7 | Hermosa, Avondale, and Logan Square. It also maintains the | ||||||
8 | vibrant business district along Milwaukee Avenue and unites it | ||||||
9 | with another growing business district on Elston in RD 40 | ||||||
10 | utilized by the constituents of the proposed RD 39. | ||||||
11 | The total population of RD 39 is 108,434. The voting age | ||||||
12 | population is 3.20% African American, 4.06% Asian, 51.61% | ||||||
13 | Hispanic. | ||||||
14 | The configuration of Representative District 40 as enacted | ||||||
15 | in 2011 contained 103,081 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
16 | This was underpopulated by 5,500 people compared to target | ||||||
17 | population. The configuration of RD 40 as enacted in Public | ||||||
18 | Act 102-10 contained 102,621 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
19 | Census. This was underpopulated by 5,960 people. As amended, | ||||||
20 | the district is substantially the same as the current RD 40, | ||||||
21 | maintaining the core of the district and most of its | ||||||
22 | population. The district includes communities in the Lincoln | ||||||
23 | Park, Logan Square, North Center, Avondale, Irving Park, and | ||||||
24 | Albany Park community areas of Chicago. It also preserves most | ||||||
25 | of the Albany Park neighborhood, which has one of the highest | ||||||
26 | foreign-born populations in the city and is the third most |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | diverse zip code in the country with more than languages | ||||||
2 | spoken in the area's public schools. Many parts of this | ||||||
3 | district have also experienced significant gentrification over | ||||||
4 | the past decade. This area has experienced significant | ||||||
5 | gentrification and demographic changes over the past decade. | ||||||
6 | Residents are from regions of Central America, South America, | ||||||
7 | Eastern Europe, India, Southeast Asia, and Eastern Asia. | ||||||
8 | Albany Park residents with roots in Korea and other parts of | ||||||
9 | Asia have shared cultural and social similarities and | ||||||
10 | contributed to the redevelopment of Lawrence Avenue into a | ||||||
11 | commercial corridor. This community of interest along Lawrence | ||||||
12 | Avenue within the Albany Park neighborhood has been preserved. | ||||||
13 | The total population of RD 40 is 108,660. The voting age | ||||||
14 | population is 4.00% African American, 9.54% Asian, 42.76% | ||||||
15 | Hispanic. | ||||||
16 | Chicago West Side and West Suburbs: The districts located | ||||||
17 | in Chicago's west side and western suburbs share many | ||||||
18 | commonalities, including an overall loss of population. The | ||||||
19 | 9th and 10th Representative Districts were affected by large | ||||||
20 | population growth in the Chicago Loop area -- growth that | ||||||
21 | exceeded the estimates of the American Community Survey and | ||||||
22 | necessitated reconfiguration. Population migration patterns | ||||||
23 | and gentrification in many parts of the west side have | ||||||
24 | contributed to changes in the region. As a result, the current | ||||||
25 | districts have been altered for population and considerations | ||||||
26 | of communities of interest, politics, incumbent protection, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | and maintaining minority opportunities to elect candidates of | ||||||

3 | The configuration of Representative District 7 as enacted | ||||||
4 | in 2011 contained 109,744 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
5 | This was underpopulated by 1,163 people compared to ideal | ||||||
6 | population. The configuration of RD 7 as enacted in Public Act | ||||||
7 | 102-10 contained 108,285 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
8 | This was underpopulated by 296 people. The current district is | ||||||
9 | entirely within the Cook County suburbs, but to accommodate | ||||||
10 | the population shifts and neighboring districts, the proposed | ||||||
11 | district retains the core of the current district and adds a | ||||||
12 | new population from DuPage County. The district contains all | ||||||
13 | or parts of the following municipalities: Melrose Park, | ||||||
14 | Maywood, Forest Park, River Forest, Broadview, Bellwood, | ||||||
15 | Hillside, Berkeley, Northlake, Elmhurst, Oak Brook, | ||||||
16 | Westchester, La Grange Park, and Western Springs. The | ||||||
17 | communities have much in common, namely that nearly every | ||||||
18 | community consists primarily of owner-occupied single-family | ||||||
19 | homes. | ||||||
20 | Like the current district, no single minority group | ||||||
21 | represents a majority of the voting age population, but | ||||||
22 | collectively the district has a majority minority population. | ||||||
23 | The total population of RD 7 is 108,592. The voting age | ||||||
24 | population is 42.33% African American, 3.21% Asian, 22.49% | ||||||
25 | Hispanic. Including individuals who identify as multiple | ||||||
26 | races, the voting age population is 44.05% African American. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | The configuration of Representative District 8 as enacted | ||||||
2 | in 2011 contained 109,504 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
3 | This was overpopulated by 923 people compared to target | ||||||
4 | population. The configuration of RD 8 as enacted in Public Act | ||||||
5 | 102-10 contained 110,811 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
6 | This was overpopulated by 2,230 people. RD 8 contains the | ||||||
7 | majority of the current district and contains portions of | ||||||
8 | Chicago, Oak Park, Cicero, Berwyn, Forest Park, North | ||||||
9 | Riverside, Broadview, La Grange Park, La Grange, Western | ||||||
10 | Springs, Indian Head Park, Countryside, and Hodgkins. To | ||||||
11 | accommodate for the population gain and neighboring population | ||||||
12 | loss, Brookfield is moved into another district and RD 8 adds | ||||||
13 | population from other communities that are parts of the | ||||||
14 | townships currently included in RD 8. The changes keep | ||||||
15 | together more of the population encompassed by local high | ||||||
16 | school districts. | ||||||
17 | The total population of RD 8 is 108,552. The voting age | ||||||
18 | population is 49.51% African American, 1.36% Asian, 15.11% | ||||||
19 | Hispanic. Including individuals who identify as multiple | ||||||
20 | races, the voting age population is 51.26% African American. | ||||||
21 | The configuration of Representative District 9 as enacted | ||||||
22 | in 2011 contained 120,173 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
23 | The configuration of RD 9 as enacted in Public Act 102-10 | ||||||
24 | contained 114,253 people according to the 2020 Census, which | ||||||
25 | is 5,672 above the target population. To bring the district | ||||||
26 | closer to target population, the boundaries as enacted in |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Public Act 102-10 were changed by receding in northern parts | ||||||
2 | of the district and shifting boundaries with RD 10 to | ||||||
3 | accommodate regional changes. | ||||||
4 | The proposed RD 9 retains the core of the current | ||||||
5 | population. The district is located entirely within Chicago | ||||||
6 | and includes Sheffield Neighbors, Ranch Triangle, Goose | ||||||
7 | Island, River West, Fulton River District, West Loop, | ||||||
8 | Greektown, Little Italy, Illinois Medical District, Tri | ||||||
9 | Taylor, Douglas Park, North Lawndale, and Homan Square. The | ||||||
10 | area has undergone tremendous changes over the past decade, | ||||||
11 | arguably due to gentrification and population shifts. The | ||||||
12 | district was drawn to maintain as much of the core as possible, | ||||||
13 | including retaining North Lawndale and the Illinois Medical | ||||||
14 | District, one of the largest medical districts in the United | ||||||
15 | States with the John H. Stroger Hospital of Cook County, Rush | ||||||
16 | University Medical Center, University of Illinois College of | ||||||
17 | Medicine, and the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center. | ||||||
18 | The total population of RD 9 is 108,687. The voting age | ||||||
19 | population is 40.54% African American, 12.81% Asian, 9.32% | ||||||
20 | Hispanic. The 2020 Census allowed people to identify as | ||||||
21 | members of multiple racial groups. Including individuals who | ||||||
22 | identify as multiple races, the voting age population is | ||||||
23 | 42.30% African American. | ||||||
24 | The House Redistricting Committee received testimony from | ||||||
25 | multiple witnesses requesting that RD 9 be drawn to be over 50% | ||||||
26 | African American voting age population while maintaining the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | core of the district. Such a configuration could require | ||||||
2 | significantly under populating the district. Alternatively, | ||||||
3 | this would require African American population from other | ||||||
4 | nearby districts, such as RDs 8 and 78, to be integrated into | ||||||
5 | RD 9, reducing the opportunity of African-American voters of | ||||||
6 | those districts to elect the candidate of their choice and the | ||||||
7 | political compositions of those and other districts. Such | ||||||
8 | reconfiguration would also result in multiple Chicago | ||||||
9 | districts breaking the border with DuPage County. Although the | ||||||
10 | district does not contain a majority African American voting | ||||||
11 | age population, the district remains one in which African | ||||||
12 | American voters have an equal opportunity to elect a candidate | ||||||
13 | of their choice. | ||||||
14 | The configuration of Representative District 10 as enacted | ||||||
15 | in 2011 contained 114,021 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
16 | This was overpopulated by 5,440 people compared to target | ||||||
17 | population. The configuration of RD 10 as enacted in Public | ||||||
18 | Act 102-10 contained 116,532 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
19 | Census. This was over/underpopulated by 7,951 people. As | ||||||
20 | amended, the district is substantially the same as the current | ||||||
21 | RD 10, maintaining the core of the district as well as the | ||||||
22 | majority of its population. The district is located entirely | ||||||
23 | within Chicago and includes Bucktown, Wicker Park, Sheffield | ||||||
24 | Neighbors, Ranch Triangle, Pulaski Park, Noble Square, West | ||||||
25 | Town, West Jackson Boulevard District, Garfield Park, and | ||||||
26 | Fifth City. The proposed district takes a portion of the 27th |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Ward from RD 9 and moves it into RD 10 to consolidate more of | ||||||
2 | the ward. The area has undergone tremendous changes over the | ||||||
3 | past decade, arguably due to gentrification and population | ||||||
4 | shifts. | ||||||
5 | The total population of RD 10 is 108,647. The voting age | ||||||
6 | population is 38.96% African American, 4.86% Asian, 11.41% | ||||||
7 | Hispanic. Including individuals who identify as multiple | ||||||
8 | races, the voting age population is 40.77% African American. | ||||||
9 | As with RD 9, the House Redistricting Committee received | ||||||
10 | testimony advocating for RD 10 to be drawn to have a majority | ||||||
11 | African American voting age population. Such a configuration | ||||||
12 | would require significantly underpopulating the district or | ||||||
13 | incorporating African American population from other nearby | ||||||
14 | districts, such as RDs 8, 9, and 78, threatening the | ||||||
15 | opportunity of African American voters of those districts to | ||||||
16 | elect the candidate of their choice and the political | ||||||
17 | compositions of those and other districts. Although the | ||||||
18 | district does not contain a majority African American voting | ||||||
19 | age population, the district has a majority minority voting | ||||||
20 | age population and a plurality of African Americans. The | ||||||
21 | African American population is likely large enough to be able | ||||||
22 | to elect a candidate of their choice. | ||||||
23 | The configuration of Representative District 77 as enacted | ||||||
24 | in 2011 contained 106,369 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
25 | This was underpopulated by 2,212 people compared to target | ||||||
26 | population. The configuration of RD 77 as enacted in Public |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Act 102-10 contained 108,809 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
2 | Census. This was overpopulated by 228 people. As amended, the | ||||||
3 | district is substantially the same as the current RD 77, | ||||||
4 | maintaining the core of the district and most of its | ||||||
5 | population. The district contains parts of Bensenville, Stone | ||||||
6 | Park, and Addison, plus the majority of Northlake, Franklin | ||||||
7 | Park and Melrose Park. RD 77 includes the geographic footprint | ||||||
8 | of O'Hare Airport, and the communities within the district are | ||||||
9 | tied economically to O'Hare Airport and the extensive network | ||||||
10 | of freight train lines and roadways that run through the area. | ||||||
11 | The total population of RD 77 is 108,704. The voting age | ||||||
12 | population is 3.05% African American, 3.51% Asian, 52.73% | ||||||
13 | Hispanic. Including individuals who identify as multiple | ||||||
14 | races, the voting age population is 3.99% African American. | ||||||
15 | The configuration of Representative District 78 as enacted | ||||||
16 | in 2011 contained 110,394 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
17 | This was overpopulated by 1,813 people compared to target | ||||||
18 | population. The configuration of RD 78 as enacted in Public | ||||||
19 | Act 102-10 contained 114,451 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
20 | Census. This was overpopulated by 5,870 people. The core of | ||||||
21 | the district remains the west side of Chicago in the Austin | ||||||
22 | neighborhood and west suburban communities of Oak Park, | ||||||
23 | Elmwood Park, and River Grove. As amended, the district is | ||||||
24 | substantially the same as the current RD 78, maintaining the | ||||||
25 | core of the district and its population. The major change is | ||||||
26 | that a majority of Oak Park is united with a majority of River |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Forest. Unifying the majority of Oak Park and River Forest | ||||||
2 | preserves High School District (HSD) 209, the main high school | ||||||
3 | district that serves this area. The western end of the | ||||||
4 | district extends to pick up Triton Community College. This is | ||||||
5 | an important connection, as many students from HSD 209 | ||||||
6 | continue their education at Triton Community College, creating | ||||||
7 | a unified education community in one Representative District. | ||||||
8 | There are several small cultural institutions, such as | ||||||
9 | museums, that remain in one district. | ||||||
10 | The total population of RD 78 is 108,415. The voting age | ||||||
11 | population is 30.75% African American, 4.38% Asian, 14.76% | ||||||
12 | Hispanic. | ||||||
13 | Chicago South Side and South Suburbs: The districts in | ||||||
14 | Chicago's South Side and south suburbs sustained some of the | ||||||
15 | heaviest population loss in northern Illinois. While Chicago's | ||||||
16 | population overall remained steady over a ten-year period, | ||||||
17 | significant growth in the Loop and north shore areas mask | ||||||
18 | population loss on the south side. An overall population loss | ||||||
19 | in Cook County was also largely concentrated in the | ||||||
20 | southlands. | ||||||
21 | The configuration of Representative District 27 as enacted | ||||||
22 | in 2011 contained 103,321 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
23 | This was underpopulated by 5,260 people compared to target | ||||||
24 | population. The configuration of RD 27 as enacted in Public | ||||||
25 | Act 102-10 contained 107,878 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
26 | Census. This was underpopulated by 703 people, with changes to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | accommodate population shifts in the district and neighboring | ||||||
2 | districts. RD 27 consists of portions of Chicago's Roseland, | ||||||
3 | Morgan Park, and Washington Heights neighborhoods, along with | ||||||
4 | Blue Island, Alsip, Crestwood, Oak Forest, Orland Park, Tinley | ||||||
5 | Park, Homer Glen, and Orland Hills. RD 27 also goes slightly | ||||||
6 | into Will County in areas similar to the bordering communities | ||||||
7 | in Cook County. | ||||||
8 | The total population of RD 27 is 108,605. The voting age | ||||||
9 | population is 51.82% African American, 1.82% Asian, 6.49% | ||||||
10 | Hispanic. The 2020 Census allowed people to identify as | ||||||
11 | members of multiple racial groups. Including individuals who | ||||||
12 | identify as multiple races, the voting age population is | ||||||
13 | 53.35% African American. | ||||||
14 | The configuration of Representative District 28 as enacted | ||||||
15 | in 2011 contained 99,681 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
16 | This was underpopulated by 8,900 people compared to target | ||||||
17 | population. The configuration of RD 28 as enacted in Public | ||||||
18 | Act 102-10 contained 103,205 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
19 | Census. This was underpopulated by 5,376 people. As amended, | ||||||
20 | the district is substantially the same as the current RD 28, | ||||||
21 | maintaining the core of its district and most of its | ||||||
22 | population. To compensate for the population loss, the | ||||||
23 | district moves further into suburban Cook County. The district | ||||||
24 | includes a portion of Chicago and portions of Calumet Park, | ||||||
25 | Riverdale, Blue Island, part of Posen, Robbins, Crestwood, Oak | ||||||
26 | Forest, and Tinley Park. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | The total population of RD 28 is 108,557. The voting age | ||||||
2 | population is 45.40% African American, 1.66% Asian, 15.49% | ||||||
3 | Hispanic. The 2020 Census allowed people to identify as | ||||||
4 | members of multiple racial groups. Including individuals who | ||||||
5 | identify as multiple races, the voting age population is | ||||||
6 | 46.75% African American. | ||||||
7 | The configuration of Representative District 29 as enacted | ||||||
8 | in 2011 contained 106,665 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
9 | This was underpopulated by 1,916 people compared to target | ||||||
10 | population. The configuration of RD 29 as enacted in Public | ||||||
11 | Act 102-10 contained 106,616 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
12 | Census. This was underpopulated by 1,965 people. As amended, | ||||||
13 | the district is substantially the same as the current RD 29, | ||||||
14 | maintaining the core of the district and most of its | ||||||
15 | population. The proposed RD 29 encompasses regions of Cook, | ||||||
16 | Will, and Kankakee counties, and municipalities including the | ||||||
17 | City of Chicago, Dolton, Calumet City, South Holland, | ||||||
18 | Thornton, Glenwood, Ford Heights, Sauk Village, Steger, Crete, | ||||||
19 | Beecher, Peotone, Manteno, and Bradley. Transportation | ||||||
20 | arteries include proximity to I-57, I-80, I-94, I-294, and | ||||||
21 | Route 394. Communities within the Will and Kankakee portions | ||||||
22 | of proposed RD 29 are more suburban and exurban than rural, and | ||||||
23 | several communities in the Will County portion are part of the | ||||||
24 | Southland region of Illinois that share economic interests | ||||||
25 | with southern Cook County. There are many communities of | ||||||
26 | interest throughout this district, including schools that |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | often compete against each other in athletics. As proposed, | ||||||
2 | the district is relatively homogenous in that it is largely | ||||||
3 | composed of middle-class working families which is consistent | ||||||
4 | with current RD 29. | ||||||
5 | The total population of RD 29 is 108,520. The voting age | ||||||
6 | population is 57.12% African American, 0.47% Asian, 6.12% | ||||||
7 | Hispanic. Including individuals who identify as multiple | ||||||
8 | races, the voting age population is 58.85% African American. | ||||||
9 | The configuration of Representative District 30 as enacted | ||||||
10 | in 2011 contained 98,006 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
11 | This was underpopulated by 10,575 people compared to target | ||||||
12 | population. The configuration of RD 30 as enacted in Public | ||||||
13 | Act 102-10 contained 101,719 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
14 | Census. This was underpopulated by 6,862 people. RD 30 retains | ||||||
15 | incumbent relationships for continuity of representation by | ||||||
16 | continuing to include all or parts of the municipalities of | ||||||
17 | Harvey, Dixmoor, Midlothian, Oak Forest, Markham, Olympia | ||||||
18 | Fields, Phoenix, Dolton, Hazel Crest, East Hazel Crest, | ||||||
19 | Homewood, and Flossmoor. These communities are part of the | ||||||
20 | Southland region of the Chicago suburbs, which share similar | ||||||
21 | economic interests. The majority of the current RD 30 is | ||||||
22 | contained within the proposed RD 30, keeping the core of the | ||||||
23 | district intact. | ||||||
24 | The total population of RD 30 is 108,525. The voting age | ||||||
25 | population is 51.17% African American, 1.78% Asian, 15.74% | ||||||
26 | Hispanic. Including individuals who identify as multiple |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | races, the voting age population is 53.25% African American. | ||||||
2 | The configuration of Representative District 31 as enacted | ||||||
3 | in 2011 contained 105,926 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
4 | This was underpopulated by 2,655 people compared to target | ||||||
5 | population. The configuration of RD 31 as enacted in Public | ||||||
6 | Act 102-10 contained 109,821 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
7 | Census. This was overpopulated by 1,240 people. The proposed | ||||||
8 | district maintains the core of the current district and keeps | ||||||
9 | similar communities of interest intact, while recognizing | ||||||
10 | popular migration patterns. The district includes a portion of | ||||||
11 | Chicago's Auburn Gresham, Beverly View, Wrightwood, and | ||||||
12 | Ashburn neighborhoods, as well as the suburbs of Hometown, Oak | ||||||
13 | Lawn, Chicago Ridge, Bridgeview, Palos Hills, Hickory Hills, | ||||||
14 | and Justice. The total population of RD 31 is 108,638. The | ||||||
15 | voting age population is 51.92% African American, 1.12% Asian, | ||||||
16 | 11.23% Hispanic. The 2020 Census allowed people to identify as | ||||||
17 | members of multiple racial groups. Including individuals who | ||||||
18 | identify as multiple races, the voting age population is | ||||||
19 | 53.50% African American. | ||||||
20 | The configuration of Representative District 32 as enacted | ||||||
21 | in 2011 contained 105,728 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
22 | This was underpopulated by 2,853 people compared to target | ||||||
23 | population. The configuration of RD 32 as enacted in Public | ||||||
24 | Act 102-10 contained 108,187 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
25 | Census. This was underpopulated by 394 people. The proposed | ||||||
26 | district maintains the core of the current district and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | extends west to gain population, while recognizing the needs | ||||||
2 | of other neighboring districts. The district includes portions | ||||||
3 | of Chicago's Greater Grand Crossing, Englewood, West | ||||||
4 | Englewood, Marquette Park, Chicago Lawn Ashburn, and | ||||||
5 | Scottsdale neighborhoods, suburbs of Burbank, Bridgeview, and | ||||||
6 | Hickory Hills, and a small part of Justice. The boundaries of | ||||||
7 | proposed RD 32 reflect the competing goals of preserving the | ||||||
8 | existing district balanced against the need to obtain more | ||||||
9 | population to reach the equal population target. It also | ||||||
10 | maintains the core of the existing RD 32 to preserve | ||||||
11 | continuity of representation. | ||||||
12 | The total population of RD 32 is 108,536. The voting age | ||||||
13 | population is 50.46% African American, 0.93% Asian, 31.17% | ||||||
14 | Hispanic. Including individuals who identify as multiple | ||||||
15 | races, the voting age population is 52.22% African American. | ||||||
16 | The configuration of Representative District 33 as enacted | ||||||
17 | in 2011 contained 106,236 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
18 | This was underpopulated by 2,345 people compared to target | ||||||
19 | population. The configuration of RD 33 as enacted in Public | ||||||
20 | Act 102-10 contained 107,444 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
21 | Census. This was underpopulated by 1,137 people, with | ||||||
22 | adjustments made for population in the district and | ||||||
23 | neighboring districts. Proposed RD 33 comprises parts of | ||||||
24 | Chicago, Burnham, Calumet City, Lansing, and Lynwood. The | ||||||
25 | district connects the more urban suburbs of Cook County with | ||||||
26 | the parts of Chicago that share common interests. Proposed RD |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 33 is home to many employees who work in Chicago and Cook | ||||||
2 | County and connects areas with similar median incomes and | ||||||
3 | economic interests according to the Census Bureau. | ||||||
4 | The total population of RD 33 is 108,624. The voting age | ||||||
5 | population is 62.35% African American, 0.35% Asian, 20.83% | ||||||
6 | Hispanic. Including individuals who identify as multiple | ||||||
7 | races, the voting age population is 64.65% African American. | ||||||
8 | The configuration of Representative District 34 as enacted | ||||||
9 | in 2011 contained 105,993 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
10 | This was underpopulated by 2,588 people compared to target | ||||||
11 | population. The configuration of RD 34 as enacted in Public | ||||||
12 | Act 102-10 contained 106,970 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
13 | Census. This was underpopulated by 1,611 people. The proposed | ||||||
14 | district retains the core of the district while making | ||||||
15 | adjustments for population in the district and neighboring | ||||||
16 | districts and reducing split communities in the current | ||||||
17 | district. Proposed RD 34 keeps most of the current district | ||||||
18 | intact, with the southern border now going to the Kankakee | ||||||
19 | County Line and part of the Southwestern border along the | ||||||
20 | Kankakee River. To reduce the number of split communities, the | ||||||
21 | majority of Sauk Village is now in one district, and many other | ||||||
22 | municipalities in Kankakee County that are split in the | ||||||
23 | current districts are consolidated into one district. | ||||||
24 | The total population of RD 34 is 108,429. The voting age | ||||||
25 | population is 66.87% African American, 0.29% Asian, 8.58% | ||||||
26 | Hispanic. Including individuals who identify as multiple |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | races, the voting age population is 69.16% African American. | ||||||
2 | The configuration of Representative District 35 as enacted | ||||||
3 | in 2011 contained 108,853 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
4 | This was overpopulated by 272 people compared to target | ||||||
5 | population. The configuration of RD 35 as enacted in Public | ||||||
6 | Act 102-10 contained 107,085 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
7 | Census. This was underpopulated by 1,496 people. To | ||||||
8 | accommodate the population changes and shifts in other | ||||||
9 | districts in the region, the proposed district reduces | ||||||
10 | population in the northern portion and picks up population | ||||||
11 | near the southern and western borders. A majority of the | ||||||
12 | current district's population resides in the proposed | ||||||
13 | district. The proposed district contains portions of Chicago, | ||||||
14 | Merrionette Park, Alsip, Worth, Palos Heights, Palos Park, and | ||||||
15 | Orland Park. This splits fewer communities than the current RD | ||||||
16 | 35. The communities within proposed RD 35 are united by common | ||||||
17 | socioeconomic characteristics, with the majority of residents | ||||||
18 | being single-family homeowners who move into these communities | ||||||
19 | to take advantage of their housing values, quality schools, | ||||||
20 | and low crime rates. Many of the residents of the suburban | ||||||
21 | townships have either moved from Chicago themselves or are the | ||||||
22 | children of former Chicago residents. The eastern portion of | ||||||

14 | continues to represent communities along the Fox River and in | ||||||
15 | the Fox River Valley. | ||||||
16 | Within the proposed RD 64 are a number of lakes and | ||||||
17 | recreational areas that serve local residents as well as | ||||||
18 | visitors. Proposed RD 64 is served by Metra's North Central | ||||||
19 | Service, which takes commuters to and from downtown Chicago. | ||||||
20 | Proposed RD 64's is relatively homogeneous demographically and | ||||||
21 | is predominantly middle class and upper middle class. The | ||||||
22 | partisan advantage of the proposed RD 64 is similar to the | ||||||
23 | current RD 64. | ||||||
24 | The proposed district has a total population of 108,575, | ||||||
25 | with an African American voting-age population of 1.5%, a | ||||||

3 | 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 65, and 66 comprise the northwest suburban | ||||||
4 | areas. These districts retain the core of each existing | ||||||
5 | district to the greatest extent possible, but there are | ||||||
6 | deviations due to population shifts, the need to ensure equal | ||||||
7 | population, and political considerations. Significant | ||||||
8 | population growth in downtown Chicago has also necessitated | ||||||
9 | many districts throughout the suburbs to adjust to take in new | ||||||
10 | population to the east and south. | ||||||
11 | The configuration of Representative District 43 as enacted | ||||||
12 | in 2011 contained 107,984 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
13 | This was underpopulated by 597 people compared to target | ||||||
14 | population. The configuration of RD 43 as enacted in Public | ||||||
15 | Act 102-10 contained 110,756 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
16 | Census. This was overpopulated by 2,175 people. Proposed RD 43 | ||||||
17 | contains communities in Cook and Kane counties. Within Cook | ||||||
18 | County, it contains part of Hanover Township and within Kane | ||||||
19 | County it contains parts of Elgin and Dundee townships. It | ||||||
20 | contains communities within the municipalities of Streamwood, | ||||||
21 | Hoffman Estates, East Dundee, and Elgin. Proposed RD 43 was | ||||||
22 | adjusted to encompass more of Elgin, consolidating a community | ||||||
23 | that has historically been split among several districts into | ||||||
24 | fewer representative districts. These communities have similar | ||||||
25 | economic characteristics and demographics according to the | ||||||
26 | Census Bureau. |
| |||||||
| |||||||

11 | Act 102-10 contained 107,147 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
12 | Census. This was underpopulated by 1,434 people. Proposed RD | ||||||
13 | 44 maintains the core of current RD 44 as well as the majority | ||||||
14 | of its population and preserves incumbent-constituent | ||||||
15 | relationships. Proposed RD 44 is located in Hanover and | ||||||
16 | Schaumburg townships within Cook County. The reconfigured | ||||||
17 | district unites more of Hoffman Estates in one district, and | ||||||
18 | pairs it with neighboring communities of Streamwood, | ||||||
19 | Schaumburg, and Hanover Park. These communities share similar | ||||||
20 | demographics and economic characteristics according to the | ||||||
21 | Census Bureau. They are further connected by shared | ||||||
22 | transportation infrastructure and shared economies. The total | ||||||
23 | population of RD 44 is 108,540. The voting age population is | ||||||

8 | values according to the Census Bureau. These communities are | ||||||
9 | also majority homeowners with a smaller level of renters, with | ||||||
10 | over 60% owning homes and less than 30% renting. Additionally, | ||||||
11 | RD 53 contains Northwest Community Hospital. Healthcare is the | ||||||
12 | largest employer in these municipalities and this region. By | ||||||
13 | linking Northwest Community Hospital with communities such as | ||||||
14 | Arlington Heights, Mount Prospect, Rolling Meadows, RD 53 | ||||||
15 | keeps many employees linked with the major healthcare services | ||||||
16 | in the district. | ||||||
17 | The total population of RD 53 is 108,563. The voting age | ||||||
18 | population is 2.69% African American, 14.41% Asian, 14.22% | ||||||

2 | district unite more of Palatine within the neighboring 51st | ||||||
3 | District and enhance the overall partisan composition of the | ||||||
4 | district. | ||||||
5 | The district includes portions of Prospect Heights, | ||||||
6 | Arlington Heights, and Palatine. The district shares many | ||||||
7 | similarities with RD 53, and together collectively combine | ||||||
8 | municipalities that form a Legislative District that leans | ||||||
9 | Democratic. The proposed district moves southeast to account | ||||||
10 | for population shifts. | ||||||

22 | includes parts of Park Ridge, most of Des Plaines and a small | ||||||
23 | portion of the 41st Ward in Chicago. Large portions of the | ||||||
24 | district are united by being in Maine Township. The 41st Ward | ||||||
25 | is a community of similar interest to the suburban Cook County | ||||||
26 | portions of the proposed district. The new proposed district |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | improves the compactness of the district while maintaining the | ||||||
2 | core of the district as Des Plaines. The proposed district | ||||||
3 | also brings together two communities (Park Ridge and Des | ||||||
4 | Plaines) that share a township and high school township | ||||||
5 | district. | ||||||

16 | portions of Palatine and Mount Prospect were removed to assist | ||||||
17 | other districts and aid in maintaining more of those | ||||||
18 | municipalities' populations in other districts. To unite the | ||||||
19 | cities on the west that share regional interests, the western | ||||||
20 | border receded east to accommodate those communities of | ||||||
21 | interest. RD 57 still represents both northern Cook and Lake | ||||||
22 | counties which share socioeconomic, ethnic, and religious | ||||||
23 | similarities. Proposed RD 57 consolidates more of the similar | ||||||

12 | Lake Bluff, Highwood City, Glencoe, Lincolnshire, Mettawa, | ||||||
13 | Green Oaks, Knollwood, and North Chicago. RD 58 had to take in | ||||||
14 | population and expanded west to keep a majority of the | ||||||
15 | district in Lake County, and the area of Cook County shares | ||||||
16 | commonalities with the rest of the district. | ||||||

25 | comments asked for communities of similar economic and | ||||||
26 | community interests by adding more of Carpentersville and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Elgin and removing the northwest side of Crystal Lake that | ||||||
2 | best reflects the interests of the neighboring districts. RD | ||||||
3 | 66 has the municipalities of Carpentersville, West Dundee, | ||||||
4 | Sleepy Hollow, Elgin, a small portion of East Dundee, | ||||||
5 | Algonquin, Lake in the Hills, and Crystal Lake. Due to the rise | ||||||
6 | in population, much of the west side of the district 25 got put | ||||||
7 | into a neighboring district to unite more similar communities. | ||||||
8 | School Districts in proposed RD 66 include Community Unit | ||||||
9 | School District 300 takes in students from Carpentersville, | ||||||
10 | West and East Dundee, Sleepy Hollow, Algonquin, and Lake in | ||||||

20 | who identify as multiple races, the voting age population is | ||||||
21 | 56.46% African American. | ||||||
22 | DuPage County: DuPage County saw a modest population | ||||||
23 | increase over the past decade, and reconfigurations in this | ||||||
24 | area reflect this; the cores of existing House districts were | ||||||
25 | held largely intact with some adjustments in order to create | ||||||
26 | compact districts of substantially equal population. Just as |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | many DuPage municipalities share transportation | ||||||
2 | infrastructure, business interests, and community identity | ||||||
3 | with neighboring areas of Cook, Will, and Kane counties, | ||||||
4 | several of the districts cross adjacent counties. | ||||||

11 | population is 2.14% African American, 11.68% Asian, 12.35% | ||||||
12 | Hispanic. | ||||||
13 | Representative District 84 was overpopulated by more than | ||||||
14 | 2,000 people. Proposed RD 84 was renumbered to RD 49 in Public | ||||||
15 | Act 102-10, but has reverted to maintain its current district | ||||||
16 | number. It contains the municipalities of Aurora, Oswego, | ||||||
17 | Boulder Hill, Naperville, and Montgomery. The district is at | ||||||
18 | the intersection of the counties of DuPage, Will, Kendall, and | ||||||
19 | Kane. According to the Census Bureau, these communities have | ||||||
20 | similar economic characteristics and demographics. | ||||||
21 | The total population of RD 84 is 108,422. The voting age | ||||||

8 | Geneva, Wayne, Bartlett, Elgin, and South Elgin. According to | ||||||
9 | the Census Bureau, these communities share similar | ||||||
10 | demographics and economic characteristics. Proposed RD 43 was | ||||||
11 | adjusted to encompass more of Elgin, consolidating a community | ||||||
12 | that has historically been split among several districts into | ||||||
13 | fewer representative districts. | ||||||
14 | The configuration of Representative District 49 as enacted | ||||||
15 | in 2011 contained 109,051 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||

2 | Representative District 50 is renumbered from | ||||||
3 | Representative District 83 as enacted in Public Act 102-10. | ||||||
4 | This district was also known as RD 83 in Public Act 97-6. The | ||||||
5 | configuration of Representative District 83 as enacted in 2011 | ||||||

24 | a majority of the population of the current district. There is | ||||||
25 | a small shift to help consolidate the communities of | ||||||
26 | Naperville, Woodridge, and Downers Grove. Proposed RD 81 |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | contains a major transportation corridor, as Interstate 355 | ||||||

18 | community school districts; Lemont Township HSD 210, Lemont | ||||||
19 | Bromberek CSD 113A and Cass SD 63. The district also keeps | ||||||
20 | almost all of Glower SD 62, Hinsdale Township HSD 86, and Lyons | ||||||
21 | Township together. The northern border of the district is | ||||||
22 | formed by the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad and has a | ||||||
23 | southern border of north Homer Glen. | ||||||

24 | The configuration of Representative District 97 as enacted | ||||||
25 | in 2011 contained 120,820 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
26 | This was overpopulated by 12,239 people compared to target |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | population. The configuration of RD 97 as enacted in Public | ||||||
2 | Act 102-10 contained 113,482 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
3 | Census. This was overpopulated by 4,901 people. The proposed | ||||||
4 | district contains a majority of the current district. It | ||||||
5 | includes parts of Kendall and Will counties and all or parts of | ||||||
6 | Aurora, Naperville, Plainfield, Joliet, Shorewood, and | ||||||
7 | Bolingbrook municipalities. This district was drawn to keep | ||||||
8 | families of similar economic interests and median incomes | ||||||
9 | together, with incomes ranging from $70,000 - $130,000. The | ||||||
10 | northern border is Wolf's Crossing Road with the southern | ||||||

15 | The configuration of Representative District 98 as enacted | ||||||
16 | in 2011 contained 110,268 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
17 | This was overpopulated by 1,687 people compared to target | ||||||
18 | population. The configuration of RD 98 as enacted in Public | ||||||
19 | Act 102-10 contained 107,650 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
20 | Census. This was underpopulated by 931 people. The district | ||||||
21 | includes all or parts of Joliet, Plainfield, Crystal Lawns, | ||||||
22 | Crest Hill, Romeoville, and Bolingbrook, and the proposed | ||||||
23 | district is entirely within Will County. Additional areas of | ||||||
24 | Joliet were added to the district to enhance the partisan | ||||||
25 | composition of the district. All communities in the district | ||||||
26 | are linked by their proximity to Interstate 55, which bisects |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the district. The district retains the majority of the current | ||||||
2 | district, preserving its core, which was originally created | ||||||
3 | based on witness testimony received in 2011 about the common | ||||||
4 | interests of residents relocating to the growing area. Public | ||||||
5 | transportation and school quality were among these concerns. | ||||||
6 | Testimony indicated that it makes the most sense to keep these | ||||||
7 | growing populations together, as opposed to pairing them with | ||||||
8 | downstate communities. | ||||||
9 | The total population of RD 98 is 108,505. The voting age | ||||||
10 | population is 13.98% African American, 7.67% Asian, 22.57% | ||||||
11 | Hispanic. | ||||||
12 | North Central Illinois: The districts in the north central | ||||||
13 | Illinois region suffered a significant loss of population, and | ||||||
14 | as a result the districts have been reconfigured. For the most | ||||||
15 | part, the core communities remain intact, but efforts were | ||||||
16 | made to connect the more urban areas of the districts to | ||||||
17 | maximize their political power. | ||||||
18 | The configuration of Representative District 67 as enacted | ||||||
19 | in 2011 contained 101,713 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
20 | This was underpopulated by 6,868 people compared to target | ||||||
21 | population. The configuration of RD 67 as enacted in Public | ||||||
22 | Act 102-10 contained 107,492 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
23 | Census. This was underpopulated by 1,089 people. The proposed | ||||||
24 | district retains a majority of the current district | ||||||
25 | population. To adjust for the loss of population, the district | ||||||
26 | adds parts of New Milford and Cherry Valley, which were |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | previously in RD 67 prior to 2011. The district keeps the 5th | ||||||
2 | and 11th Wards of Rockford in the district as requested by | ||||||
3 | Armando Cardenas from the Coalition of Latino Leaders in | ||||||
4 | Rockford in his written and oral testimony at a hearing of the | ||||||
5 | House Redistricting Committee. | ||||||
6 | The median household income of Rockford is $40,100, | ||||||
7 | $42,200 for New Milford and $58,800 for Cherry Valley, thus | ||||||
8 | uniting communities of similar economic interest. The district | ||||||
9 | remains entirely within Winnebago County. The proposed | ||||||
10 | district has a total population of 108,458, with an African | ||||||
11 | American voting-age population of 20.1%, a Hispanic voting-age | ||||||
12 | population of 16.5%, and an Asian voting-age population of 2%. | ||||||
13 | The 2020 Census allowed people to identify as members of | ||||||
14 | multiple racial groups. Including individuals who identify as | ||||||
15 | multiple races, the voting age population is 22.04% African | ||||||
16 | American. | ||||||
17 | The configuration of Representative District 68 as enacted | ||||||
18 | in 2011 contained 107,158 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
19 | This was underpopulated by 1,423 people compared to target | ||||||
20 | population. The configuration of RD 68 as enacted in Public | ||||||
21 | Act 102-10 contained 108,426 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
22 | Census. This was underpopulated by 155 people. The proposed | ||||||
23 | district retains a majority of the current district | ||||||
24 | population. The portions of the district that include Rockford | ||||||
25 | remain largely unchanged with only slight variations to the | ||||||
26 | borders. Manufacturing remains the top industry in the current |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | district and the proposed district moves east to include the | ||||||
2 | city of Belvidere, which is home to the Belvidere Chrysler | ||||||
3 | Assembly Plant. The workers at the plant are part of The | ||||||
4 | International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and | ||||||
5 | Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW). | ||||||
6 | The Belvidere community shares a similar interest to the | ||||||
7 | existing core of the current district in that they have a | ||||||
8 | shared interest in being represented by someone who supports | ||||||
9 | organized labor and carries a commitment to protecting the | ||||||
10 | rights of organized labor and working families. | ||||||
11 | The proposed district has a total population of 108,450, | ||||||
12 | with an African American voting-age population of 9.7%, a | ||||||
13 | Hispanic voting-age population of 17.5%, and an Asian | ||||||
14 | voting-age population of 3.8%. | ||||||
15 | The configuration of Representative District 69 as enacted | ||||||
16 | in 2011 contained 107,256 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
17 | This was underpopulated by 1,325 people compared to target | ||||||
18 | population. The configuration of RD 69 as enacted in Public | ||||||
19 | Act 102-10 contained 107,484 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
20 | Census. This was underpopulated by 1,097 people. The changes | ||||||
21 | in the district are primarily to account for population | ||||||
22 | changes in the region. This district links numerous | ||||||
23 | communities that contain outdoor recreational areas and parks. | ||||||
24 | It also connects numerous conservation areas like Rush Creek | ||||||
25 | Conservation Area, Brookdale Conservation Area, Marengo Ridge | ||||||
26 | Conservation Area, Coral Woods Conservation Area, Pleasant |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Valley Conservation Area, Piscasaw Fen Conservation Area, | ||||||
2 | Beck's Woods Conservation Area, High Point Conservation, | ||||||
3 | Winding Creek Conservation Area, North Branch Conservation | ||||||
4 | Area, and Glacier Park Conservation Area. RD 69's proposed | ||||||
5 | northeast border proceeds westward along the Illinois - | ||||||
6 | Wisconsin border. | ||||||
7 | The proposed district has a total population of 108,508, | ||||||
8 | with an African American voting-age population of 1.5%, a | ||||||
9 | Hispanic voting-age population of 13.5%, and an Asian American | ||||||
10 | voting-age population of 3.1%. | ||||||
11 | Following the release of the proposed legislative map on | ||||||
12 | Friday, May 21, 2021, Republican state representatives made | ||||||
13 | public comments criticizing the number of incumbent Republican | ||||||
14 | state representatives whose primary residences were located in | ||||||
15 | the same representative district as another incumbent | ||||||
16 | Republican state representative. This new proposed district | ||||||
17 | boundary therefore changed boundaries from the original | ||||||
18 | proposal district from Friday, May 21. Following the request | ||||||
19 | of Republicans, RD 69 was reconfigured to put Representative | ||||||
20 | Keicher's home in RD 70, while keeping Representative | ||||||
21 | Sosnowski's home in RD 69. | ||||||
22 | The configuration of Representative District 70 as enacted | ||||||
23 | in 2011 contained 105,830 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
24 | This was underpopulated by 2,751 people compared to target | ||||||
25 | population. The configuration of RD 70 as enacted in Public | ||||||
26 | Act 102-10 contained 111,087 people according to the 2020 |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Census. This was overpopulated by 2,506 people. The changes in | ||||||
2 | the district are primarily to account for population changes | ||||||
3 | in the region. The proposed district maintains consistency in | ||||||
4 | socioeconomic status, ethnic tradition, municipal government | ||||||
5 | and various other practical considerations. Proposed RD 70 | ||||||
6 | will contain Kane, DeKalb, Kendall, and McHenry counties, and | ||||||
7 | the municipalities of Maple Park, Burlington, Sugar Grove, | ||||||
8 | Gilberts, Huntley and Hampshire. Those municipalities have | ||||||
9 | median incomes ranging from $65,984 to $100,809 respectively, | ||||||
10 | uniting communities of similar levels of economic interest. | ||||||
11 | The total population of RD 70 is 108,589. The voting age | ||||||
12 | population is 2.00% African American, 3.77% Asian, 9.00% | ||||||
13 | Hispanic. | ||||||
14 | Following the release of the proposed legislative map on | ||||||
15 | Friday, May 21, 2021, Republican state representatives made | ||||||
16 | public comments criticizing the number of incumbent Republican | ||||||
17 | state representatives whose primary residences were located in | ||||||
18 | the same representative district as another incumbent | ||||||
19 | Republican state representative. This new proposed district | ||||||
20 | boundary therefore changed boundaries from the original | ||||||
21 | proposal district from Friday, May 21. Following the request | ||||||
22 | of Republicans, RD 70 was reconfigured to include | ||||||
23 | Representative Keicher's home. | ||||||
24 | The configuration of Representative District 75 as enacted | ||||||
25 | in 2011 contained 117,180 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
26 | This was overpopulated by 8,599 people compared to target |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | population. The configuration of RD 75 as enacted in Public | ||||||
2 | Act 102-10 contained 111,471 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
3 | Census. This was overpopulated by 2,890 people. To reduce | ||||||
4 | population and account for population shifts in neighboring | ||||||
5 | districts, proposed RD 75 loses population in its current | ||||||
6 | southern and eastern portions and gains population west and | ||||||
7 | north. This helps make proposed RD 75 more compact. Proposed | ||||||
8 | RD 75 contains portions of LaSalle, DeKalb, Kendall, and | ||||||
9 | Grundy County. Townships in the proposed RD 75 include in | ||||||
10 | DeKalb County, Sandwich; in LaSalle County, Northville, | ||||||
11 | Mission, Miller, and Manlius; in Grundy County, Nettle Creek, | ||||||
12 | Erienna, Vienna (partial), Morris, Saratoga, Aux Sable, and | ||||||
13 | Felix; and in Kendall County, Seward (partial), Na-Au-Say | ||||||
14 | (partial), Oswego (partial), Bristol (partial), Little Rock, | ||||||
15 | Fox, Kendall, Lisbon, and Big Grove. Municipalities in | ||||||
16 | proposed RD 75 include parts of Marseilles, Seneca, Sheridan, | ||||||
17 | Lisbon, Morris, Channahon, Minooka, Joliet, Oswego, Yorkville, | ||||||
18 | Milington, Millbrook, Somonauk, Plano, and Sandwich. | ||||||
19 | Communities within proposed RD 75 are similar demographically | ||||||
20 | and have similar rates of per capita income ranging from | ||||||
21 | approximately $30,000 to $35,000. | ||||||
22 | Proposed RD 75 is more compact than the current RD 75. The | ||||||
23 | partisan composition of the proposed RD 75 is similar to that | ||||||
24 | of the current RD 75. The total population of RD 75 is 108,653. | ||||||
25 | The voting age population is 4.26% African American, 1.49% | ||||||
26 | Asian, 12.33% Hispanic. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | The configuration of Representative District 76 as enacted | ||||||
2 | in 2011 contained 104,334 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
3 | This was underpopulated by 4,247 people compared to target | ||||||
4 | population. The configuration of RD 76 as enacted in Public | ||||||
5 | Act 102-10 contained 107,563 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
6 | Census. This was underpopulated by 1,018 people. While this | ||||||
7 | regional population loss necessitated some significant | ||||||
8 | reconfiguration, a majority of the existing RD 76's core is | ||||||
9 | maintained in the district. The proposed district achieves its | ||||||
10 | target population by connecting several of the 18 largest | ||||||
11 | cities in the north central Illinois region. The southern end | ||||||
12 | of the proposed district maintains the existing connection | ||||||
13 | between Ottawa, North Utica, LaSalle, Peru, and Spring Valley, | ||||||
14 | and combines this with the city of DeKalb, which is kept whole | ||||||
15 | in the proposed district. Several economic, geographic, and | ||||||
16 | regional factors connect DeKalb and the Illinois River Valley | ||||||
17 | communities. Median income in DeKalb is much closer to the | ||||||
18 | median incomes of Peru, LaSalle, Ottawa, and other small parts | ||||||
19 | of the district, as opposed to communities DeKalb is connected | ||||||
20 | to the current configuration, where the median income reaches | ||||||
21 | as high as $119,000. With economies centered around | ||||||
22 | manufacturing and distribution, both DeKalb and the Illinois | ||||||
23 | River Valley communities are centers for organized labor and | ||||||
24 | have a shared interest in representation that will prioritize | ||||||
25 | the needs of middle-class workers. In the northern end of the | ||||||
26 | district, distribution centers for Target, Nestle, and 3M are |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | all located in DeKalb. Ferrara Distribution Center, also | ||||||
2 | located in DeKalb, is a major regional distribution center for | ||||||
3 | Wal-Mart located in Spring Valley in the southern end of the | ||||||
4 | district. Nearly all the communities in the proposed district | ||||||
5 | are hubs along the interstate highway system, giving these | ||||||
6 | areas a shared interest in representation that prioritizes | ||||||
7 | infrastructure investment and maintenance. Interstate 80 | ||||||
8 | connects Ladd, Dalzell, LaSalle, and Dayton in the southern | ||||||
9 | end of the district. Interstate 39 links LaSalle and | ||||||
10 | Jonesville. DeKalb is a major stop along Interstate 88. The | ||||||
11 | DeKalb Oasis, Interstate 88's only rest stop in Illinois, is | ||||||
12 | included in the district. The district follows State Highway | ||||||
13 | 23 from Ottawa to DeKalb. The district shares environmental | ||||||
14 | interests. The proposed district links the four areas in the | ||||||
15 | Illinois River Valley that have been designated as Superfund | ||||||
16 | sites by the United States Environmental Protection Agency - | ||||||
17 | Spring Valley, Ottawa, and two sites in LaSalle. Furthermore, | ||||||
18 | including DeKalb in the district links these sites with | ||||||
19 | Northern Illinois University - one of the state's leading | ||||||
20 | institutions for environmental studies. | ||||||
21 | The district also connects river communities with a shared | ||||||
22 | interest in flood control and water quality. The Illinois | ||||||
23 | River and its tributaries flow across the entire southern | ||||||
24 | end of the district, while the Kishwaukee River flows through | ||||||
25 | all of DeKalb in the northern part of the district. The | ||||||
26 | district also includes Wedron, which borders the Fox River. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | The Fox River makes up the district's southeastern boundary. | ||||||
2 | Boating and watersports contribute to the economies of each of | ||||||
3 | these communities. DeKalb, Wedron, LaSalle, Ottawa, and Peru | ||||||
4 | have numerous businesses dedicated to river recreation, | ||||||
5 | fishing, boat rental, and more. DeKalb and the Illinois River | ||||||
6 | Valley communities included in the proposed district have a | ||||||
7 | shared interest in hunting and fishing. The southern end of | ||||||
8 | the district includes a number of popular duck, goose, and | ||||||
9 | deer hunting locations, and hunting clubs are a significant | ||||||
10 | part of the local economy. Meanwhile, numerous parks and | ||||||
11 | nature areas in DeKalb attract fishers, including Prairie | ||||||
12 | Park, East Lagoon, and Rotary Park. The proposed district | ||||||
13 | reconnects DeKalb and LaSalle, which were previously connected | ||||||
14 | into one representative district under legislative maps | ||||||
15 | enacted in 1981. | ||||||
16 | The total population of RD 76 is 108,628. The voting age | ||||||
17 | population is 7.04% African American, 2.34% Asian, 11.66% | ||||||
18 | Hispanic. | ||||||
19 | Central Illinois: Representative Districts 87, 88, 91, 92, | ||||||
20 | 95, 96, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, and 109 lost | ||||||
21 | more than 4,000 people over the past decade, necessitating | ||||||
22 | reconfiguration in parts of the region. | ||||||
23 | The configuration of Representative District 87 as enacted | ||||||
24 | in 2011 contained 103,051 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
25 | This was underpopulated by 5,530 people compared to target | ||||||
26 | population. The configuration of RD 87 as enacted in Public |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Act 102-10 contained 108,750 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
2 | Census. This was overpopulated by 169 people. The proposed RD | ||||||
3 | 87 It includes portions of McLean, Tazewell, DeWitt, Macon, | ||||||
4 | Sangamon, and Logan counties. It includes all or portions of | ||||||
5 | the communities of Armington, Atlanta, McLean, Chestnut, | ||||||
6 | Warrensburg, Lincoln, Broadwell, Wapella, Clinton, Maroa, | ||||||
7 | Delavan, New Holland, Danvers, Mackinaw, Tremont, and | ||||||
8 | Heyworth. Proposed RD 87 is a major hub of transportation with | ||||||
9 | several major highways running through it including I-55, | ||||||
10 | I-74, I-155, Route 9, Route 10, Route 90, Route 122 and US-136. | ||||||
11 | Proposed RD 87 also includes multiple nature preserves and | ||||||
12 | outdoor recreation areas including Thaddeus Stubblefield Grove | ||||||
13 | Nature Preserve and Mackinaw River State Fish and Wildlife | ||||||
14 | Area, maintaining a community of interest. Proposed RD 87 | ||||||
15 | connects the rural communities that lay outside of Bloomington | ||||||
16 | and Peoria, which have shared interests different from those | ||||||
17 | of more urban areas. | ||||||
18 | Representative District 87 has a total population of | ||||||
19 | 108,650 and a voting age population that is 2.1% African | ||||||
20 | American, .7% Asian, and 2.2% Hispanic. | ||||||
21 | The configuration of Representative District 88 as enacted | ||||||
22 | in 2011 contained 109,108 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
23 | This was overpopulated by 527 people compared to target | ||||||
24 | population. The configuration of RD 88 as enacted in Public | ||||||
25 | Act 102-10 contained 106,648 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
26 | Census. This was underpopulated by 1,933 people. To |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | accommodate population shifts in neighboring districts, | ||||||
2 | Representative District 88 includes all or portions of | ||||||
3 | Livingston, McLean, DeWitt, Piatt, Macon, and counties. It | ||||||
4 | includes the municipalities of Argenta, Cisco, Monticello, | ||||||
5 | Farmer City, Bement, Cerro Gordo, Forsyth, and parts of | ||||||
6 | Bloomington. These areas share similar cultural values of more | ||||||
7 | rural areas and a strong connection to larger cities in | ||||||
8 | eastern Illinois. Rural areas in eastern and central Illinois | ||||||
9 | lost large portions of population according to the 2020 | ||||||
10 | census, this necessitated a larger reconfiguration of those | ||||||
11 | districts. These areas were also generally overcounted in the | ||||||
12 | 2015-2019 American Community Survey 5 Year Estimates. To | ||||||
13 | accommodate population shifts in neighboring districts, | ||||||
14 | Representative District 88 includes all or portions of | ||||||
15 | Livingston, McLean, DeWitt, Piatt, Macon, and counties. It | ||||||
16 | includes the municipalities of Argenta, Cisco, Monticello, | ||||||
17 | Farmer City, Bement, Cerro Gordo, Forsyth, and parts of | ||||||
18 | Bloomington. These areas share similar cultural values of more | ||||||
19 | rural areas and a strong connection to larger cities in | ||||||
20 | eastern Illinois. Proposed RD 88 also contains the | ||||||
21 | intersections of several major roadways and highways including | ||||||
22 | I-55, I-155, Route 10 and Route 121. Additionally, a community | ||||||
23 | of interest connected through outdoor recreation is maintained | ||||||
24 | as RD 88 is home to different nature preserves including | ||||||
25 | Edward R. Madigan State Park, Chestnut Beason Park, Kickapoo | ||||||
26 | Creek County Park, Weldon Springs State Park and Old Settlers |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Park. Rd 88 includes Logan Correctional Center which serves as | ||||||
2 | a major employer of the region, as well as educational | ||||||
3 | institutions Lincoln Christian University and Lincoln College. | ||||||
4 | Representative District 88 has a total voting population | ||||||
5 | of 108,513, with an African American voting population of 4%, | ||||||
6 | a Hispanic voting population of 3%, and an Asian voting | ||||||
7 | population of 4.4%. | ||||||
8 | Rural areas in eastern and central Illinois lost large | ||||||
9 | portions of population according to the 2020 census, this | ||||||
10 | necessitated a larger reconfiguration of those districts. | ||||||
11 | These areas were also generally overcounted in the 2015-2019 | ||||||
12 | American Community Survey 5 Year Estimates. Proposed | ||||||
13 | Representative 91 contains parts of multiple current districts | ||||||
14 | including RD 91, 88, 105, and 106. The configuration of RD 91 | ||||||
15 | as enacted in Public Act 102-10 contained 105,668 people | ||||||
16 | according to the 2020 Census. This was underpopulated by 2,913 | ||||||
17 | people. | ||||||
18 | Representative District 91 was underpopulated by over | ||||||
19 | 7,600 and shifted to accommodate the need to gain population. | ||||||
20 | Proposed RD 91 contains portions of Peoria, Tazewell, | ||||||
21 | Woodford, and McLean counties. Communities within proposed RD | ||||||
22 | 91 have similar home values and household incomes. Proposed RD | ||||||
23 | 91 maintains a community of interest among college students, | ||||||
24 | faculty, and staff by keeping Illinois State University and | ||||||
25 | Illinois Wesleyan University united within a single | ||||||
26 | representative district. As indicated by Republican lawmakers |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | at Redistricting Hearings in August 2021, the Central Illinois | ||||||
2 | Regional Airport in Bloomington has been included in proposed | ||||||
3 | RD 91 to keep the airport with the community of Bloomington. | ||||||
4 | The total population of RD 91 is 108,488. The voting age | ||||||
5 | population is 9.64% African American, 2.43% Asian, 5.84% | ||||||
6 | Hispanic. | ||||||
7 | The configuration of Representative District 92 as enacted | ||||||
8 | in 2011 contained 100,700 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
9 | This was underpopulated by v7881 people compared to target | ||||||
10 | population. The configuration of RD 92 as enacted in Public | ||||||
11 | Act 102-10 contained 103,890 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
12 | Census. This was underpopulated by 4,691 people. | ||||||
13 | Representative District 92 saw population loss of more | ||||||
14 | than 7,800 over the past decade, necessitating expansion. | ||||||
15 | Proposed RD 92 remains entirely within Peoria County and | ||||||
16 | expands to include more of the City of Peoria. It includes all | ||||||
17 | or parts of Peoria City, Richwoods, Medina, Radnor, Kickapoo, | ||||||
18 | Limestone, and West Peoria townships. Proposed RD 92 contains | ||||||
19 | all or parts of the communities of Peoria, Peoria Heights, | ||||||
20 | West Peoria, Bartonville and Bellevue. As indicated by | ||||||
21 | Republican lawmakers at Redistricting Hearings in August 2021, | ||||||
22 | the Peoria airport has been included in proposed RD 92 to keep | ||||||
23 | the airport with the community of Peoria. | ||||||
24 | The total population of RD 92 is 108,499. The voting age | ||||||
25 | population is 25.84% African American, 3.24% Asian, 6.15% | ||||||
26 | Hispanic. The 2020 Census allowed people to identify as |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | members of multiple racial groups. Including individuals who | ||||||
2 | identify as multiple races, the voting age population is | ||||||
3 | 28.14% African American. | ||||||
4 | The configuration of Representative District 96 as enacted | ||||||
5 | in 2011 contained 100,036 people according to the 2020 Census. | ||||||
6 | This was underpopulated by 8,545 people compared to target | ||||||
7 | population. The configuration of RD 96 as enacted in Public | ||||||
8 | Act 102-10 contained 104,264 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
9 | Census. This was underpopulated by 4,317 people. | ||||||
10 | Proposed RD 96 retains the communities of interest formed | ||||||
11 | between the city of Decatur and Springfield - two major | ||||||
12 | central Illinois cities connected by Interstate 72. The | ||||||
13 | proposed district includes a majority of the population of the | ||||||
14 | current district. The district as proposed contains the vast | ||||||
15 | majority of urban Decatur, all of the towns of Mt. Auburn, | ||||||
16 | Roby, and Buckhart, a significant portion of the city of | ||||||
17 | Springfield, and portions of Jerome, which are surrounded | ||||||
18 | entirely by Springfield. In response to repeated requests from | ||||||
19 | Republican members of the House Redistricting Springfield's | ||||||
20 | representation into fewer districts, the proposed RD 96 | ||||||
21 | expands to include more of the city of Springfield and | ||||||
22 | consolidate the city's central core into two House districts | ||||||
23 | and one Senate district. The proposed district also fulfills | ||||||
24 | requests from hearings by keeping the majority of Decatur | ||||||
25 | intact as requested by a Decatur City Council member and | ||||||
26 | reflecting the socioeconomic links between Decatur and parts |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of Springfield as noted by a Decatur business owner. Eastern | ||||||
2 | Springfield shares numerous socioeconomic similarities with | ||||||
3 | Decatur; in many categories, including median household | ||||||
4 | income, unemployment, and public school attendance, | ||||||
5 | Springfield's east side compares more to Decatur than to other | ||||||
6 | parts of Springfield outside of the proposed RD 96. Rather | ||||||
7 | than creating multiple representative districts with a | ||||||
8 | significant portion of residents with similar socioeconomic | ||||||
9 | needs, proposed RD 96, by joining much of Decatur with the east | ||||||
10 | side of Springfield, creates a representative district in | ||||||
11 | which the needs and concerns of lower-income residents can be | ||||||
12 | better addressed by one representative. With the seat of State | ||||||
13 | government in Springfield, many State workers commute from | ||||||
14 | Decatur to Springfield, and some Springfield residents work at | ||||||
15 | the hospitals and manufacturing facilities in Decatur, | ||||||
16 | creating a shared interest. The healthcare industry is a major | ||||||
17 | employer in both Springfield and Decatur, linking this area | ||||||
18 | with central Illinois hospitals with similar needs and | ||||||
19 | interests in Decatur, including keeping Memorial Medical | ||||||
20 | Center and HSHS St. John's Hospitals. This keeps the entire | ||||||
21 | Springfield Medical District in the same Representative | ||||||
22 | District, split in HB2777. The proposed RD 96 links Millikin | ||||||
23 | University with Richland Community College, which was | ||||||
24 | previously located in another district. The partisan | ||||||
25 | composition of the district is enhanced by extending farther | ||||||
26 | west into Springfield. As configured, Proposed RD 96 also |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | keeps small central Illinois cities Mechanicsburg, Buffalo, | ||||||
2 | and Dawson complete in adjacent districts, as these | ||||||
3 | communities share a school district. Stonington, Taylorville, | ||||||
4 | and Rochester, which currently are fully or partially in RD 96 | ||||||
5 | have been removed so they may be kept whole in proposed RD 95. | ||||||
6 | The total population of RD 96 is 108,426. The voting age | ||||||
7 | population is 26.96% African American, 1.56% Asian, 2.89% | ||||||
8 | Hispanic. The 2020 Census allowed people to identify as | ||||||
9 | members of multiple racial groups. Including individuals who | ||||||
10 | identify as multiple races, the voting age population is | ||||||
11 | 29.14% African American. | ||||||
12 | Rural areas in eastern and central Illinois lost large | ||||||
13 | portions of population according to the 2020 census, this | ||||||
14 | necessitated a larger reconfiguration of those districts. | ||||||
15 | These areas were also generally overcounted in the 2015-2019 | ||||||
16 | American Community Survey 5 Year Estimates. The configuration | ||||||
17 | of RD 101 as enacted in Public Act 102-10 contained 104,689 | ||||||
18 | people according to the 2020 Census. This was underpopulated | ||||||
19 | by 3,892 people. | ||||||
20 | The proposed district reaches its most north point | ||||||
21 | in-between the south side of Gibson City and the north side of | ||||||
22 | Fisher. The district travels southeast along the outside of | ||||||
23 | Champaign city limits. The district dips up to pick up St. | ||||||
24 | Joseph before continuing south to reach its most southern | ||||||
25 | point in Janesville. The western border travels from the | ||||||
26 | southern border north passing through or containing the towns |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Sullivan, Atwood, Ivesdale, Mahomet and Dickerson. The entire | ||||||
2 | district is made of rural areas and small towns outside of | ||||||
3 | Charleston and Mattoon. Communities within the proposed | ||||||
4 | district are largely similar demographically. They are also | ||||||
5 | bound together with similar median incomes. | ||||||
6 | The total population of RD 101 is 108,583. The voting age | ||||||
7 | population is 2.27% African American, 1.12% Asian, 4.04% | ||||||
8 | Hispanic. | ||||||
9 | Rural areas in eastern and central Illinois lost large | ||||||
10 | portions of population according to the 2020 census, this | ||||||
11 | necessitated a larger reconfiguration of those districts. | ||||||
12 | These areas were also generally overcounted in the 2015-2019 | ||||||
13 | American Community Survey 5 Year Estimates. The configuration | ||||||
14 | of RD 102 as enacted in Public Act 102-10 contained 105,283 | ||||||
15 | people according to the 2020 Census. This was underpopulated | ||||||
16 | by 3,298 people. | ||||||
17 | The proposed Representative District 102 is in Champaign, | ||||||
18 | Vermilion, Edgar, Clark, Cumberland, Coles, Effingham, Jasper, | ||||||
19 | Crawford, and Lawrence Counties. Clark, Edgar, Jasper, | ||||||
20 | Crawford, and Lawrence counties are kept whole. Other | ||||||
21 | boundaries were drawn largely along township lines or major | ||||||
22 | roadways in order to ensure substantially equal population and | ||||||
23 | keep municipalities together. This includes many different | ||||||
24 | municipalities throughout those counties that share rural | ||||||
25 | interests and values. This district keeps many school | ||||||
26 | districts intact, including Red Hill CUSD 9, Lawrence CUSD 20, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Palestine CUSD 3, Robinson CUSD 2, Oblong CUSD 4, Jasper CUSD | ||||||
2 | 1, Hutsonville CUSD 1, Dieterich CUSD 30, Teutopolis CUSD 50, | ||||||
3 | Cumberland CUSD 77, Casey-Westfield CUSD 4C, Martinsville CUSD | ||||||
4 | 3C, Marshall CUSD 2C, Paris Union CUSD 95, Kansas CUSD 3, | ||||||
5 | Shiloh CUSD 1, Edgar County CUSD 6, Salt Fork CUSD 512, | ||||||
6 | Georgetown-Ridge Farm CUSD 4 and parts of Heritage CUSD 8 and | ||||||
7 | Westville CUSD 2. | ||||||
8 | The total population of RD 102 is 108,586. The voting age | ||||||
9 | population is 2.57% African American, 0.34% Asian, 1.68% | ||||||
10 | Hispanic. | ||||||
11 | The configuration of Representative District 103 as | ||||||
12 | enacted in 2011 contained 109,575 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
13 | Census. This was overpopulated by 994 people compared to | ||||||
14 | target population. The configuration of RD 103 as enacted in | ||||||
15 | Public Act 102-10 contained 106,450 people according to the | ||||||
16 | 2020 Census. This was underpopulated by 2,131 people. | ||||||
17 | The district sits entirely within the cities of Champaign | ||||||
18 | and Urbana, and retains 100% of the core of the existing | ||||||
19 | district. Numerous factors link the cities of Champaign and | ||||||
20 | Urbana, including current representation, partisan | ||||||
21 | similarities, and the flagship campus of the University of | ||||||
22 | Illinois - which is a major employer and economic engine in the | ||||||
23 | district. It keeps the cores of Champaign and Urbana together | ||||||
24 | with the University of Illinois campus, the main housing | ||||||
25 | areas, and the major traffic patterns around Champaign, Urbana | ||||||
26 | and the U of I campus. The proposed district also preserves, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | intact and in one district, the community of interest | ||||||
2 | populations of African Americans to the north of the city | ||||||
3 | centers and Asians to the south of the city centers. Keeping | ||||||
4 | the majority of the cities of Champaign and Urbana in one House | ||||||
5 | district and entirely within one Senate district strengthens | ||||||
6 | both an urban community of interest in this district and a | ||||||
7 | rural community of interest in surrounding districts. This | ||||||
8 | separation helps ensure that elected officials in surrounding | ||||||
9 | areas can focus on issues that are more pressing to rural | ||||||
10 | communities. | ||||||
11 | The total population of RD 103 is 108,573. The voting age | ||||||
12 | population is 16.61% African American, 19.11% Asian, 9.19% | ||||||
13 | Hispanic. The 2020 Census allowed people to identify as | ||||||
14 | members of multiple racial groups. Including individuals who | ||||||
15 | identify as multiple races, the voting age population is | ||||||
16 | 18.43%. | ||||||
17 | The configuration of Representative District 104 as | ||||||
18 | enacted in 2011 contained 102,465 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
19 | Census. This was underpopulated by 6116 people compared to | ||||||
20 | target population. The configuration of RD 104 as enacted in | ||||||
21 | Public Act 102-10 contained 103,519 people according to the | ||||||
22 | 2020 Census. This was underpopulated by 5,062 people. The | ||||||
23 | proposed RD 104 is in Champaign and Vermilion counties. The | ||||||
24 | proposed district contains Danville, Tilton, Westville, | ||||||
25 | Belgium, Oakwood, Muncie, Fithian, Royal, Savoy, Thomasboro, | ||||||
26 | and Rantoul. RD 104 is made up of the areas outside of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | urban areas of Champaign and Urbana. It extends north of the | ||||||
2 | city to take in Thomasboro and Rantoul. It travels east along | ||||||
3 | the northern boundaries of Ogden and Stanton Townships. This | ||||||
4 | northern boundary follows E 2500 North Rd. The eastern | ||||||
5 | boundary extends all the way to the border of Illinois and | ||||||
6 | Indiana. This envelopes nearly the entire municipality of | ||||||
7 | Danville. This district was drawn to keep the surrounding | ||||||
8 | communities around Champaign Urbana together. | ||||||
9 | The total population of RD 104 is 108,592. The voting age | ||||||
10 | population is 13.65% African American, 5.15% Asian, 5.51% | ||||||
11 | Hispanic. | ||||||
12 | Rural areas in eastern and central Illinois lost large | ||||||
13 | portions of population according to the 2020 census, this | ||||||
14 | necessitated a larger reconfiguration of those districts. | ||||||
15 | These areas were also generally overcounted in the 2015-2019 | ||||||
16 | American Community Survey 5 Year Estimates. The configuration | ||||||
17 | of RD 105 as enacted in Public Act 102-10 contained 106,399 | ||||||
18 | people according to the 2020 Census. This was underpopulated | ||||||
19 | by 2,182 people. | ||||||
20 | Representative District 105 was overpopulated by nearly | ||||||
21 | 2,500. Proposed RD 105 includes all of Putnam County and | ||||||
22 | portions of Bureau, Marshall, Peoria, Woodford, Tazewell, | ||||||
23 | McLean, LaSalle, and Livingston counties. Lines largely follow | ||||||
24 | township and municipal boundaries. It included the school | ||||||
25 | districts of Putnam County CUSD 535, Lostant CUSD 425, | ||||||
26 | Fieldcrest CUSD 6, Lowpoint Washburn CUSD #21, Roanoke-Benson |
| |||||||

8 | necessitated a larger reconfiguration of those districts. | ||||||
9 | These areas were also generally overcounted in the 2015-2019 | ||||||
10 | American Community Survey 5 Year Estimates. This was | ||||||
11 | underpopulated by 6,953 people compared to target population. | ||||||
12 | The configuration of RD 106 as enacted in Public Act 102-10 | ||||||
13 | contained 105,924 people according to the 2020 Census. This | ||||||
14 | was underpopulated by 2,657 people. | ||||||

2 | of RD 107 as enacted in Public Act 102-10 contained 108,108 | ||||||
3 | people according to the 2020 Census. This was underpopulated | ||||||
4 | by 473 people. | ||||||
5 | Representative District 107 is comprised largely of | ||||||
6 | portions of current RDs 101 and 102. Proposed RD 107 contains | ||||||
7 | all of Moultrie and Shelby counties along with portions of | ||||||
8 | Macon, Christian, Montgomery, and Effingham counties. | ||||||
9 | Municipalities of Taylorville, Pana, Owaneco, Wenonah, | ||||||
10 | Nokomis, Strasburg, Witt, Coalton, Herrick, Altamont, | ||||||
11 | Stewardson, Sigel, Sullivan, Lovington, Beecher, and Effingham | ||||||
12 | are within the confines of proposed RD 107. The western border | ||||||
13 | goes to Cumberland and Effingham County, then goes east to | ||||||
14 | include the city of Effingham. Counties are split almost | ||||||
15 | exclusively along township lines with the exception of South | ||||||
16 | Wheatland and Neoga townships. These were split to ensure | ||||||
17 | substantially equal population between the districts. | ||||||
18 | The total population of RD 107 is 108,548. The voting age | ||||||
19 | population is 0.71% African American, 0.58% Asian, 2.09% | ||||||
20 | Hispanic. | ||||||
21 | Rural areas in eastern and central Illinois lost large | ||||||
22 | portions of population according to the 2020 census, this | ||||||
23 | necessitated a larger reconfiguration of those districts. | ||||||
24 | These areas were also generally overcounted in the 2015-2019 | ||||||
25 | American Community Survey 5 Year Estimates. The configuration | ||||||
26 | of RD 108 as enacted in Public Act 102-10 contained 108,549 |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | people according to the 2020 Census. This was underpopulated | ||||||
2 | by 32 people. | ||||||
3 | Representative District 108 is comprised of portions of | ||||||
4 | current RDs 87, 95, 96, 99 and 100. It includes parts of | ||||||
5 | Macoupin, Montgomery, Christian, and Sangamon counties along | ||||||
6 | with all of Menard County. The proposed district allows for | ||||||
7 | Springfield to be less split over several districts than the | ||||||
8 | current map. The district boundaries follow the local county | ||||||
9 | and township boundaries. Only Chatham, Curran, Ball, Cotton | ||||||
10 | Hill, Gardner, Clear Lake, and Mechanicsburg townships are | ||||||
11 | split in proposed RD108. These splits are largely along | ||||||
12 | municipal boundaries, major roads, and bodies of water. | ||||||
13 | Interstate 55 runs through the core of proposed RD108. | ||||||
14 | The total population of RD 108 is 108,600. The voting age | ||||||
15 | population is 1.52% African American, 0.50% Asian, 1.27% | ||||||
16 | Hispanic. | ||||||
17 | Metro East: Generally labeled as the "Metro East", this | ||||||
18 | region borders St. Louis, Missouri to the east. It has seen | ||||||
19 | significant population loss over the last ten years, losing | ||||||
20 | more than 10,000 residents within the four representative | ||||||
21 | districts over the last decade. This has resulted in the | ||||||
22 | representative districts having to add population to reach the | ||||||
23 | targeted equal population. This is an economically and | ||||||
24 | socially diverse region with common economic challenges which | ||||||
25 | impact all or parts of the area. Many of the residents of these | ||||||
26 | four representative districts work in and commute to St. Louis |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | every day. | ||||||
2 | The configuration of Representative District 111 as | ||||||
3 | enacted in 2011 contained 103,026 people according to the 2020 | ||||||

5 | target population. The configuration of RD 111 as enacted in | ||||||
6 | Public Act 102-10 contained 104,424 people according to the | ||||||
7 | 2020 Census. This was underpopulated by 4,157 people. | ||||||
8 | The proposed district keeps the majority of the current | ||||||
9 | district, including the core of Riverbend Region. It is | ||||||
10 | located entirely within Madison County, whereas current RD 111 | ||||||
11 | is split between Madison and Jersey counties. The cities of | ||||||
12 | Alton, Godfrey, Bethalto, Wood River, East Alton, Hartford, | ||||||
13 | Rosewood Heights, Roxana and South Roxana all belong to the | ||||||
14 | same Chamber of Commerce Group, the Riverbend Growth | ||||||
15 | Association. The proposed district removes much of the rural | ||||||
16 | areas of the current district and adds more of Granite City so | ||||||
17 | it is only divided between two representative districts | ||||||
18 | instead of three. The proposed district adds parts of Glen | ||||||
19 | Carbon and Maryville which share many of the same social, | ||||||
20 | cultural and economic characteristics as seen in other parts | ||||||
21 | of the proposed district. | ||||||
22 | The total population of RD 111 is 108,642. The voting age | ||||||

5 | The district boundaries were adjusted to accommodate | ||||||
6 | significant population loss in the Metro East region, but it | ||||||
7 | retains the core of the current district and most of its | ||||||
8 | current population. It includes more of Granite City which | ||||||
9 | splits Granite City between two representative districts and | ||||||
10 | one legislative district instead of three representative | ||||||
11 | districts and two legislative districts. The proposed district | ||||||
12 | includes more of Caseyville and Fairview Heights, puts all of | ||||||
13 | State Park Place and Fairmont Race Track in one district, and | ||||||
14 | keeps Southern Illinois University Edwardsville campus in the | ||||||
15 | district, with the campus boundary as one of the western | ||||||
16 | district lines. Changes in the southern border of the proposed | ||||||
17 | district return the district to some of the 2001 district | ||||||
18 | boundaries. | ||||||

2 | The proposed district is made up of portions of both | ||||||
3 | Madison and St. Clair Counties. While the district expands its | ||||||
4 | current border to add population, it roughly maintains the | ||||||
5 | same shape and includes the majority of the current district. | ||||||
6 | The divisions through Madison and Fairmont City follow along | ||||||
7 | township and county boundaries. In the proposed district, both | ||||||
8 | Belleville High School and O'Fallon High School are all in the | ||||||
9 | South Western Conference for sports. | ||||||
10 | The total population of RD 113 is 108,474. The voting age | ||||||
11 | population is 29.56% African American, 1.66% Asian, 4.64% | ||||||

22 | proposed RD 114 largely maintains the same shape and includes | ||||||
23 | a majority of the current district. The proposed district | ||||||
24 | makes whole Cahokia, East Carondelet, Smithton, Sauget, | ||||||
25 | Mascoutah, and Millstadt which were all previously split with | ||||||
26 | another representative district. The proposed district's |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | southern border now follows the Fayetteville, Millstadt, | ||||||
2 | Prairie Du Long, and New Athens Township lines and keeps the | ||||||
3 | economic drivers and landmarks such as Scott Air Force Base in | ||||||
4 | the district. The proposed district makes whole Cahokia | ||||||
5 | Community Unit School District 187 and Dupo Community Unit | ||||||

20 | Cass County. The western border of the district is the | ||||||
21 | Missouri-Illinois state line with the western border following | ||||||
22 | county lines. The southern and northern boundaries are largely | ||||||
23 | along township lines. Proposed RD 99 only splits Versailles, | ||||||
24 | Chapin, and Woodson townships for population purposes, but | ||||||
25 | keeps together municipalities in those townships. This | ||||||
26 | district was drawn to keep communities of similar economic |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | interest together. The median income for Jacksonville, Quincy | ||||||
2 | and Beardstown is between $40,750 and $46,189. | ||||||
3 | The total population of RD 99 is 108,582. The voting age | ||||||
4 | population is 5.75% African American, 0.78% Asian, 3.98% | ||||||
5 | Hispanic. | ||||||
6 | Rural areas in eastern and central Illinois lost large | ||||||
7 | portions of population according to the 2020 census, this | ||||||
8 | necessitated a larger reconfiguration of those districts. | ||||||
9 | These areas were also generally overcounted in the 2015-2019 | ||||||
10 | American Community Survey 5 Year Estimates. The configuration | ||||||
11 | of RD 100 as enacted in Public Act 102-10 contained 105,106 | ||||||
12 | people according to the 2020 Census. This was underpopulated | ||||||
13 | by 3,475 people. | ||||||
14 | Proposed Representative District 100 includes the parts of | ||||||
15 | Adams, Brown, Morgan, Madison, and Macoupin counties, and | ||||||
16 | includes all of Pike, Scott, Greene, Calhoun, and Jersey | ||||||
17 | counties. Counties are split largely along township lines. | ||||||
18 | Rural parts of Godfrey, Foster and Fort Russell townships in | ||||||
19 | Madison County are in proposed RD 100 that are in current 111, | ||||||
20 | this places them in a more rural district that better matches | ||||||
21 | the needs of the areas than the more urban and industrial parts | ||||||
22 | of current and proposed RD 111. The district boundaries follow | ||||||
23 | the Missouri and Illinois borders and unite a plethora of | ||||||
24 | Riverfront communities. | ||||||
25 | The total population of RD 100 is 108,707. The voting age | ||||||
26 | population is 1.11% African American, 0.38% Asian, 1.23% |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Hispanic. | ||||||
2 | Southern Illinois: The Southern Illinois region sustained | ||||||
3 | some of the largest population losses in the State, and House | ||||||
4 | districts required significant reconfiguration to create | ||||||
5 | compact districts of substantially equal population. | ||||||
6 | Rural areas in eastern and central Illinois lost large | ||||||
7 | portions of population according to the 2020 census, this | ||||||
8 | necessitated a larger reconfiguration of those districts. | ||||||
9 | These areas were also generally overcounted in the 2015-2019 | ||||||
10 | American Community Survey 5 Year Estimates. The configuration | ||||||
11 | of RD 109 as enacted in Public Act 102-10 contained 111,147 | ||||||
12 | people according to the 2020 Census. This was overpopulated by | ||||||
13 | 2,566 people. | ||||||
14 | Representative District 109 saw population loss of more | ||||||
15 | than 4,400. The proposed district includes parts of Bond, | ||||||
16 | Madison, Clinton, St. Clair, and Washington Counties. These | ||||||
17 | counties are well-paired economically, with relatively | ||||||
18 | consistent median household incomes throughout the group. | ||||||
19 | Incomes range from $52,200 in Bond County to $63,900 in | ||||||
20 | Clinton County. Townships and municipalities are largely kept | ||||||
21 | intact with only Lebanon, O'Fallon, Collinsville, | ||||||
22 | Fayetteville, and Fort Russell townships being split for the | ||||||
23 | purposes of keeping substantially equal population. | ||||||
24 | Proposed RD 109 also keeps all of Triad Community Unit | ||||||
25 | School District 2 and Highland Community Unit School District | ||||||
26 | 5 in the same district. The two schools compete in most school |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | sports and have a strong school rivalry that brings the two | ||||||
2 | communities together for football and basketball games. | ||||||
3 | The total population of RD 109 is 108,548. The voting age | ||||||
4 | population is 2.30% African American, 0.70% Asian, 2.67% | ||||||

16 | Clay, Richland, Fayette, Clinton, Bond, Montgomery, and | ||||||
17 | Effingham counties. There are no split townships in proposed | ||||||
18 | RD 110. Wamac is the only split municipality and is split along | ||||||
19 | county lines. Proposed RD 110 keeps Centralia in one district | ||||||
20 | where it is currently split. Proposed RD 110 is a largely rural | ||||||
21 | district with mostly small farming towns. Proposed RD 110 also | ||||||
22 | includes the entirety of Vandalia where the second, third, and | ||||||
23 | fourth capitol buildings used by the Illinois General Assembly | ||||||
24 | were located with the fourth capitol building still standing | ||||||

7 | American Community Survey 5 Year Estimates. The configuration | ||||||
8 | of RD 116 as enacted in Public Act 102-10 contained 106,482 | ||||||
9 | people according to the 2020 Census. This was underpopulated | ||||||
10 | by 2,099 people. | ||||||
11 | Representative District 115 is the core of the current RD | ||||||
12 | 116. The configuration of Representative District 116 as | ||||||
13 | enacted in 2011 contained 104,205 people according to the 2020 | ||||||
14 | Census. This was underpopulated by 4,376 people compared to | ||||||
15 | target population. The configuration of RD 115 as enacted in | ||||||
16 | Public Act 102-10 contained 105,955 people according to the | ||||||
17 | 2020 Census. This was underpopulated by 2,626 people. | ||||||
18 | The proposed district contains all of Monroe, Perry, and | ||||||

23 | townships are split, uniting McLeansboro Township which is | ||||||
24 | currently split by RD 117 and RD 118. | ||||||
25 | Partisan advantage is largely the same as the current RD | ||||||
26 | 116. Areas in proposed RD 116 have largely similar |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | demographics, per capita income, rate of people living in | ||||||
2 | poverty, average travel time to work, owner-occupied housing | ||||||
3 | rates, mortgage costs, and rental housing costs according to | ||||||
4 | American Community Survey data. Primary economic communities | ||||||
5 | of interest include the agriculture industry and the energy | ||||||
6 | industry. Counties in the proposed RD 116 have much higher | ||||||
7 | average shares of workers in these industries compared to the | ||||||
8 | rest of the State. Proposed RD 116 contains the following | ||||||
9 | municipalities: Johnsonville, Cisne, Mount Erie, Fairfield, | ||||||

23 | public comments criticizing the number of incumbent Republican | ||||||
24 | state representatives whose primary residences were located in | ||||||
25 | the same representative district as another incumbent | ||||||
26 | Republican state representative. This new proposed district |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | boundary therefore changed boundaries from the original | ||||||
2 | proposal district from Friday, May 21. Following the request | ||||||
3 | of Republicans, RD 116 was reconfigured to put Representative | ||||||
4 | Meier's home in RD 109, while keeping Representative Friess' | ||||||
5 | home in 116. | ||||||
6 | The total population of RD 116 is 108,536. The voting age | ||||||

18 | lines keeping Six Mile, Denning, Indian Creek, Heralds | ||||||
19 | Prairie, Emma, Eastern, Mayberry, Twigg, Cave, Frankfort, | ||||||
20 | Southern, Flannigan, South Flannigan together. Frankfort, East | ||||||
21 | Marion and Benton townships are the only split townships in | ||||||
22 | proposed 117 to help ensure equal population. Most of these | ||||||
23 | township splits are largely along current precinct lines. | ||||||
24 | Benton Township is split along the Big Muddy River to ensure | ||||||
25 | municipalities in the township remain whole. All of the | ||||||
26 | counties in proposed 117 have similar median household incomes |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | with the counties ranging from $39k-$44k. Including places | ||||||

26 | identity, driven in no small part by Southern Illinois |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | University in Carbondale. The University continues to be an | ||||||
2 | economic engine as one of the leading research universities in | ||||||
3 | the State and a major employer for the area. Proposed RD 118 | ||||||
4 | unites the entirety of the City of Carbondale and Southern | ||||||
5 | Illinois University Carbondale Campus into one Representative | ||||||
6 | District where both are currently divided into two | ||||||
7 | Representative Districts and two Legislative Districts. In | ||||||
8 | addition to the University, Proposed RD 118 includes John A. | ||||||
9 | Logan Community College whereas it is currently in a different | ||||||
10 | district than the two districts including the University. | ||||||
11 | Southern Illinois and proposed RD 118 has unique geography | ||||||
12 | that is also a source of tourism. Proposed RD 118 includes | ||||||
13 | Giant City State Park and parts of the Shawnee National | ||||||
14 | Forest. There are also multiple manmade lakes in proposed RD | ||||||
15 | 118 widely used for recreation in the region including Little | ||||||

18 | Wine Trail, a collection of local wineries attracting tourists | ||||||
19 | from the State and spurring further economic development in | ||||||
20 | the region. Proposed RD 118 unites Southern Illinois | ||||||
21 | communities with larger minority populations such as Pulaski, | ||||||
22 | Mounds, Cairo, Mound City, Tamms, Carbondale, Ullin, and | ||||||
23 | Thebes. Uniting these communities and ending the split of | ||||||
24 | Carbondale under the 2011 maps in order to protect the voting | ||||||
25 | power of historically marginalized and disenfranchised | ||||||
26 | citizens was requested by Dr. Linda Flowers, President of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Carbondale NAACP, during the Carbondale House Redistricting | ||||||
2 | Committee hearing on April 19, 2021. | ||||||
