Draft Map Maroon takes a north-south approach, with D4 containing downtown, Central Berkeley, and Northside (79% renter) and D7 having all of Southside and Clark Kerr and Panoramic Hill (89% renter) …ng-commission-berkeley.hub.arcgis.com/documents/draf…
Draft Map Amber is the status quo, it is similar to today's map with minor changes to equalize population. D4 has Downtown, North Shattuck, and Central Berkeley (79% renter), D7 is Southside (94% renter). Clark Kerr campus remains in D8. …ng-commission-berkeley.hub.arcgis.com/documents/draf…
Draft Map Orange is similar to the Draft Map Amber and today's map, with the difference being that all of West Berkeley is in D2. …ng-commission-berkeley.hub.arcgis.com/documents/draf…
Keep in mind that the numbers in these maps are from the 2020 Census, which was weird due to Covid, and is likely to have undercounted the student population due to people leaving Berkeley when classes went remote.
