CITY COUNCIL ADOPTS REDISTRICTING PLAN

City Council unanimously voted in approval of the City's redistricting plan in January 2023. The changes in district boundaries took effect immediately.

The basic purpose of redistricting is to equalize population among electoral districts when the Census indicates that a city or state’s population has increased or decreased in the last decade.

Greenville is a growing city. Its population increased 22 percent between 2010 and 2020. The Constitution required the City to redraw the lines that define the boundaries for the four City Council district seats.

Redistricting Map AVAILABLE

The City of Greenville has released a redistricting map.

Guided by the criteria outlined in their January 2022 resolution, City Council created four districts with roughly the same population. The map shows districts, and allows residents to search property by address to find the district. Areas where Council districts change are clearly marked. 

Since publication of the draft redistricting plan, City Council received feedback on the plan from the public via the city’s website, email and in person at meetings held in each of the four council districts.  As a result of that input, the draft plan was updated and can be seen below, along with an updated table showing data and demographics for each district.
