Findings
Total Deviation is above the 10%
“acceptable” range at 12.13%
Drawing a majority/minority district may not
be possible based on the overall percentage
of minority residents (Latino’s make up 25%
of population but are evenly dispersed
throughout the community)
Current district boundaries must be adjusted
for population balance
