Wisconsin Legislative Technology Services Bureau · 2011 Full Details
Info: [Notes:Population of municipal wards 1991, 2001 and 2011 used for disaggregation were determined by their respective CensusPopulation and Election data will be contained within a county boundary. This means that even though MCD and ward boundaries vary greatly between versions of the wards, county boundaries have stayed the same, so data should total within a county the same between wards 2011 and wards 2017Election data may be different for the same legislative district, for the same election, due to changes in the wards from 2011 and 2017. This is due to boundary corrections in the data from 2011 to 2017, and annexations, where a block may have been reassigned.Ward Data Overview: These municipal wards were created by grouping Census 2010 population collection blocks into municipal wards. This project started with the release of Census 2010 geography and population totals to all 72 Wisconsin counties on March 21st, 2011, and were made available via LTSB's GIS website and the WISE-LR web application. The 180 day statutory timeline for local redistricting ended on September 19th, 2011.Wisconsin Legislative and Congressional redistricting plans were enacted in the fall of 2011 by Wisconsin Act 43 and Act 44. These new districts were created using Census 2010 block geography. Some municipal wards, created before the passing of Act 43 and 44, were required to be split between assembly, senate and congressional district boundaries. 2011 Wisconsin Act 39 allowed communities to divide wards, along census block boundaries, if they were divided by newly enacted boundaries. A number of wards created under Wisconsin Act 39 were named using alpha-numeric labels. An example would be where ward 1 divided by an assembly district would become ward 1A and ward 1B, and in other municipalities the next sequential ward number was used: ward 1 and ward 2. The process of dividing wards under Act 39 ended on April 10th, 2012. This link provides more information on Act 39.The United States Eastern District Federal Court on April 11th, 2012 ordered Assembly Districts 8 and 9 (both in the City of Milwaukee) be changed to follow the court’s description. On September 19th, 2012 the Legislative Technology Services Bureau (LTSB) divided the few remaining municipal wards that were split by a 2011 Wisconsin Act 43 or 44 district line.] This is an archived dataset at UW-Madison.
