State Legislative District Data
Database Detail
| Name | State Legislative District Data |
| Summary | Social, economic, demographic, housing, and other constituent characteristics in state legislative districts |
| Additional Background |
This database contains roughly 600 variables describing social, economic, demographic, housing, and other data in current state legislative districts, i.e., those established after the 2020 Census. Data reflect 2017-2021 ACS 5-year estimates and margins of error. All margins of error are based on a 90 percent confidence level. The margin of error indicates the difference between an estimate and its upper or lower confidence bounds. For example, a value of 50 with a margin of error of 5 indicates with 90 percent confidence that the upper bound is 55 (50 + 5) and the lower bound is 45 (50-5). See the U.S. Census Bureau for additional information on estimates, margins of error, and methodology.

APA
Format or style, from the American Psychological Association, is commonly used for footnotes in behavioral and social science publications. APA citation is an author-year-system. It is one of the most common styles used and taught at colleges and high schools. See here for more details, including APA formatting for bibliographies.Chicago
Format or style (also known as Turabian), created by the University of Chicago, is commonly used for footnotes in history, business, and fine arts and occasionally in the humanities, sciences, and social sciences. The Chicago style has two systems of citation. The author-date system (most common in social sciences and sciences) cites sources parenthetically in the text. The notes and bibliography system (most common in humanities) cites sources in numbered footnotes or endnotes which correspond to a superscript number in the text. See here for more details, including Chicago formatting for bibliographies.MLA
Modern Language Association (MLA) format or style is most commonly used for footnotes in the language arts, cultural studies, liberal arts, and humanities. MLA uses short parenthetical citations within the text that are linked to an alphabetical list of work cited at the end of the document. MLA commonly cites using this format: author's last name, first name, title, publication, edition or chapter, and year. See here for more details, including MLA formatting for bibliographies.AMA
American Medical Association (AMA) format or style is most commonly used for footnotes in medicine, biomedical research, nursing, dentistry, and other life sciences. AMA uses numerical superscript for citing sources in-text and refers to a list at the end of the work. These references appear in sequential order of when the sources were cited, instead of alphabetical order. See here for more details, including AMA formatting for bibliographies.
