Featured district
Missouri's 1st Congressional District is one of 8 U.S. House districts in Missouri, represented in Congress by Wesley Bell (Democrat). It is home to roughly 759,185 people, with a median age of 37. The population is about 45% Black. The median household income is $59,930, and 37% of adults 25 and older hold a bachelor’s degree or higher. In the 2024 presidential election it voted safely Democratic (D+57).
Every district holds roughly the same number of people — almost everything else varies wildly. A few records from the 435 district profiles:
All 435 seats in the U.S. House are decided district by district, and the lines are redrawn every ten years. How they're drawn shapes who runs, who wins, and which party controls the House — yet most Americans can't picture a single district's shape. Daily District, created by redistricting scholar Dr. Jonathan Cervas of Carnegie Mellon University and Jason Fierman of the Redistrict Network, makes learning them a daily habit.
