TIGER/Line Shapefile, 2014, Series Information for the 114th Congressional District National Shapefile
Congressional Districts are the 435 areas from which people are elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. After the apportionment of congressional
seats among the States based on census population counts, each State is responsible for establishing congressional districts for the purpose of electing
representatives. Each congressional district is to be as equal in population to all other congressional districts in a State as practicable. The 114th
Congress is seated from January 2015 to 2017. The TIGER/Line shapefiles for the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Island Areas (American Samoa,
Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) each contain a single record for the non-voting delegate district in
these areas. The boundaries of all other congressional districts are provided to the Census Bureau through the Redistricting Data Program (RDP).
