The Los Angeles Redistricting Commission moved forward on Sept. 30 with a drafted map that would almost completely reshape several of the 15 districts in the city.
Cities redesign their districts every 10 years based on the latest U.S. Census Bureau data. The commission board is made up of individuals appointed by city council members. In Los Angeles, each of the 15 districts must have roughly 260,000 people, meaning that densely populated areas such as the San Fernando Valley and Koreatown may get shifted from district to district.
