Congressional Districts - DEPRECATED

fusioncenter.nhit.org | Last Updated 28 Jul 2023

THIS LAYER HAS BEEN DEPRECATED AND WILL BE RETIRED 6-30-2022. This polygon layer delineates the US Congressional District boundaries in New Jersey, 2012 - 2022. This version of the layer uses high-quality base map spatial data published by the State of New Jersey, instead of Census Bureau geographic data (TIGER.) Where no higher-quality data were available, the TIGER lines were used.This layer, which overlays correctly the highest quality municipal boundary data for New Jersey is an UNofficial version; by law, the official version is based on US Census data (geographic and demographic.) Congressional Districts are areas bounded on all sides by visible features such as streets, roads, streams, railroad tracks, and/or by nonvisible boundaries such as census block, city, town, township, county limits, and short line-of-sight extensions of roads or other linear features. Municipalities split between congressional districts were split by snapping to these lines. Known as: Congressional District Boundaries for the State of New Jersey, 2012 - 2022; unofficial, nj_munis - based (Govt_admin_condis)
