The census data release is expected to show Latinos have been key to U.S. growth, setting off a challenge to see the numbers reflected in political districts.
The numbers set in motion the carving of states into congressional and legislative districts — and can boost or dilute Latino voter influence. “It’s not a simple math problem," the UCLA's Sonja Diaz says.
The data will show where Latino growth has happened and give racial and ethnic breakdowns to neighborhood levels, as well as where populations have aged or shifted.of state population totals, which determined total House seats for each state. With the expectation of increased Hispanic population, “we want to ensure, through data and advocacy, that Latino political power does not decrease in the 2021 redistricting cycle,” said Sonja Diaz, founding executive director of the Latino Policy and Politics Initiative at the University of California, Los Angeles.
He cited the example of Texas, which gained two congressional seats. Texas state demographer Lloyd Potter has previously reported that 2019 census population estimates show Hispanics are responsible for almost 53 percent of the state’s growth.
