City OKs redrawn maps for council districts
City Council on Wednesday approved new boundaries for the city’s 11 districts for the 2023 elections, featuring modest adjustments affecting parts of downtown, Braeburn, Greater Inwood and a few areas in southeast Houston.
The new boundaries aim to balance district populations based on the latest census data. By law, the most populous district should not have more than 10 percent more residents than the smallest district. Based on the 2020 census, Districts C and G need to give up some neighborhoods; Districts H, I and J, on the other hand, have lost too many constituents and need to expand.
