New Boundaries for District H | |
|
Council has voted to adopt the new redistricting plan for the City of Houston based on the 2020 Census data. The new boundaries establish Single-Member Council Districts from which District Council Member are elected.
Because District H had the smallest population in the 2020 Census count, the district has had to grow larger. New areas include a portion of the northside of downtown, a more consolidated Eastex-Jensen, a unified Bonita Gardens, Imperial Valley, Candlelight Plaza, Shepherd Park Plaza, and a portion of Garden Oaks.
Here is a map showing new district boundaries.
