Defining Communities

12/1/2015

There are many ways to define communities

Best way to define a neighborhood remains to hear from the people

who live there

Some examples of communities of interest could include:

School attendance areas; housing developments; neighborhoods around parks;

horse-friendly neighborhoods

Some communities want to be unified to maximize their voice in single

trustee area election. Others (often school attendance areas) want to be

divided so they have multiple representatives on the board.

Map Notes

12/1/2015

9

• All maps are shown overlaid on the

attendance zone map (at right)

• All trustee areas are contiguous and

reasonably population balanced (0.4%

to 4.92% per plan)

• All maps are reasonably compact

• All maps respect communities of

interest, but in very different ways

• All maps avoid pairing the trustees

who are not retiring at the end of

their current terms

• Oddly-shaped Census Blocks

complicate drawing lines in the hills
