Residents in west, central and northern Dallas cited existing neighborhood ties, fear of lost political power among the reasons why they rejected some proposed new council district maps.Several Dallas neighborhoods will likely be split up during city district boundary changes despite the pleas of residents, according to the city’s redistricting commission chair.is scheduled to vote Monday on their top three map proposals.
Jesse Oliver, the commission chair, said he appreciated the concerns of residents Friday, which have been echoed in previous meetings. But the process likely won’t end with everyone getting what they want. The redistricting process to redraw the 14 City Council districts occurs every 10 years after the release of U.S. census data. The goal is to make sure all districts have as close to an equal number of residents as possible.
Dallas’ population grew by 106,563 residents in 10 years to 1.3 million, 2020 census numbers show, meaning each of the city’s 14 districts should now have around 93,170 residents. Eight of the current districts have populations above that mark, ranging from close to 94,000 in North Dallas’ District 11 to nearly 107,000 in District 14, which includes Uptown, parts of downtown and Old East Dallas.
