Legislative season is upon us!
As November elections draw near, and the North Dakota 2015 Legislative session prepares to begin, it is a great time to look at what the data tell us about our state.
In keeping with North Dakota Compass's goal of providing clear, accurate, and unbiased data, we have teamed up with North Dakota KIDS COUNT to create a unique data tool for this legislative season; Legislative District Profiles!
Compiled based on information obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2008-2012 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, the profiles offer a quick look at each of North Dakota's 47 legislative districts in a total of 16 indicators covering population, household, social, and economic characteristics. The legislative district profiles are downloadable, and completely free from both the North Dakota Compass and North Dakota KIDS COUNT websites.
As the state prepares for the November polls, Dr. Deborah White from Minnesota State University Moorhead offers a look at North Dakota's women representation in elected office, in the Ask a Researcher column. Discover where North Dakota ranks in relation to other states.
