🚨 #ncpol Reminder: the #2020Census release has legislative boundaries that do NOT align with NC's current districts. We used crosswalks from @nhgis to make files for:
- NC congressional districts
- NC House
- NC Senate
Largest population losses in NC counties:
Robeson: -17,638
Duplin: -9,790
Edgecombe: -7,652
Columbus: -7,475
Halifax: -6,069
Because of changes to #2020Census questionnaire, may see some declines in population identifying as a single racial group ("alone"), but see growth in groups "in combination" (more multiracial identification)

1. Here's the one we developed with @NCCounts. It shows all of the communities across NC that will likely be hard to count in the upcoming Census. You can zoom in by county, and see demographic information related to census tracts:
