10,000 Maps

To access the interactive maps select a state from the sidebar.

Over 9,000 high detail "zoomable" printer-ready, PDA compatible, street-level focus precinct maps are also available for Arkansas, Georgia, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio and South Carolina. Depending on the state, the maps show block-level estimates of unregistered persons of voting age or unregistered plus inactive voters.

In addition, community-wide Adobe maps can be downloaded for about 1,600 localities in those eight states and a dozen or so other states where we have statewide registration or turnout data -- Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. Depending on the state, these maps show precinct or neighborhood-level estimates of unregistered persons of voting age or unregistered plus inactive voters.

Just for fun, we've added Adobe maps showing Bush-Gore by precinct for the same set of localities in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia. Similar Adobe maps are available for the 2002 Senate contests in North Carolina and Georgia and the 2002 Wisconsin Attorney General race.

Also, street-level census data Adobe maps are available for selected precincts in Oregon and Wisconsin counties, where we have been unable to obtain the registered voter lists.

These interactive and Adobe maps can help you marshal scarce resources for door-to-door voter registration and target areas for transporting voters to the polls.

In addition to the default voter registration maps, each interactive map application includes maps showing neighborhood-level detail on the following:

-- Median Household Income (1999)
-- Population Below Poverty
-- Population Under 18 Below Poverty
-- Female Householder (single-parent) with own children
-- Percent Black (single-race, all ages)
-- Percent Latino (any race, all ages)
-- Percent Native American (single- race, all ages)
-- Percent Asian (single-race, all ages)
-- Housing Tenure (renters and homeowners)
-- Median Home Value (by census tract)
-- 18-64 Limited English-Speaking Ability (Spanish speakers only)
-- Percent Undercount
-- Households without a vehicle
-- Population 25 and over without a high school degree
-- Foreign Born Non-citizen Population (any race or ethnicity, all ages)
-- Population Ages 15 to 24
