Some wards are going to be split multiple times if Clarke's proposed map passes as is. The 18th, which includes Fishtown & Kensington, is split three ways. Part in the 1st, the 5th snakes its way through Fishtown all the way up to Norris street. The northern part in the 7th.
The 42nd ward, a majority Hispanic ward, covering parts of Feltonville and Olney is also split 3 ways between the 7th, 8th, and 9th districts.

Let's dive into the demographics of #Philadelphia's new council districts a bit more. Keep in mind these numbers are counting state incarcerated people where they live, so they'll be slightly different than the U.S. Census numbers that City Council used for #redistricting.
Overall, there was little change in racial demographics. The 1st district became a little bit more white. It was already a majority white district. Hispanic and Black are down in the proposed map. Asian slightly up.
