Die USA haben außergewöhnlich große Bezirke und aufgrund der Art und Weise, wie wir sie aufteilen, haben einige Bundesstaaten etwa 500.000 Einwohner pro Bezirk, während andere 1.000.000 haben.

      We should have one representative for every 50,000 people. 

      It would be chaotic but awesome.

      What is the source for the populations in each district?

      All districts within a state are supposed to have equal population. This is mandated by the Constitution as ruled by SCOTUS in [**Reynolds v. Sims**](https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=Reynolds+v.+Sims&ved=2ahUKEwibgvSIiqGTAxUNJEQIHb0RIt4QgK4QegQIARAB) **(1964)**. Making them perfectly equal is impossible, but they should be equal within 50,000 people. That means that in most states all the districts should be the same color. In some states, where the intended population per district is near one of the population cutoffs, the districts should be two different colors. No state should have three or more colors. But on this map several states have districts of three colors.

      For example, in California all districts were designed to have a population of 700.066 people. Most districts therefore should be colored to indicate a population between 700K-750k. Due to imperfection, some will likely have populations of 650k-700K. If there are districts whose populations are below 650k or above 750k, that would mean someone screwed up when designing the districts or a lot of people have moved since 2020. I’m wondering if this map has better/more recent data than the census or if it is implying that the districts were drawn poorly.
