This Insight accompanies the Congressional District Geography Workbook, a Microsoft Excel file that congressional users can download from CRS.gov. The workbook provides information about U.S. House districts as configured in the 118th Congress (2023-2024)….The workbook, when downloaded and opened in Microsoft Excel, contains five sheets that can be accessed via tabs at the bottom of the screen:

  • “Workbook Information” contains a table of contents and background information.
  • “What’s In Your District” contains a pivot table. Users can select a state/territory and then a district to generate a list of geographic areas and features in that district. An Export Selection button allows users to quickly copy a district’s list into a new spreadsheet.
  • “Complete Data Table” contains all the underlying information for the districts that is summarized in the pivot table. It has nearly 283,000 rows of data. Filters can be used to isolate a specific feature or area and determine which district(s) it is in.
  • “Maps” contains hyperlinks to U.S. Census Bureau wall maps for each state and district, as well as a national-level map.
  • “Statistics” contains hyperlinks to Census Bureau statistical profiles for each district on the data.census.gov platform.
