There were no changes to the boundaries of the 114th Congressional Disticts from the 113th. Data users should use the 113th Congressional District Summary File and Demographic Profile when retrieving data for the 114th Congress. The 114th/113th Congressional District Summary File and Demographic Profile contain the data compiled from the questions asked of all people and about every housing unit in the 2010 Census. Population items include age, sex, race, Hispanic or Latino origin, household relationship, household type, household size, family type, family size, and group quarters. Housing items include occupancy status, vacancy status, and tenure (whether a housing unit is owner-occupied or renter-occupied).

The files contain subject content identical to that shown in the 2010 Census Summary File 1 and the 2010 Census Demographic Profile. The Demographic Profile is available at data.census.gov. The Summary File is available on our FTP site or at data.census.gov

These Block Equivalency Files (BEFs) are the whole 2010 Census tabulation block representations of the 114th Congressional District plans as submitted by the states to the U.S. Census Bureau. The .ZIP file contains a national block equivalency file and individual state files for the state -- Minnesota -- who reported changes during this collection cycle. The fields in these files should be imported as text to preserve leading zeros.

In instances where plans included split 2010 Census tabulation blocks, the Census Bureau requested that the state assign the whole block to one district for the purpose of tabulating data. These block equivalency files contain the whole block tabulation plan. The Census Bureau's maps and TIGER/Line shapefiles depict the correct location of the boundary (splits tabulation blocks). A listing of those blocks split in the states' official plans, and which district the population of these blocks is tabulated to, is also provided.

Only one state -- Kentucky -- split blocks in their 114th Congressional District plan. Kentucky did not have changes from their 113th Congressional District plan so these block splits carry over. 

The 2014 and 2015 TIGER/Line products include the 114th Congressional Districts. The congressional district boundaries are the boundaries as submitted by the state liaisons in Phase 4 of the Redistricting Data Program.

The shapefiles for the congressional and state legislative districts are identified by their abbreviation within the file name: "cd114" for the 114th congressional districts; "sldu" for the state legislative districts - upper house; and "sldl" for the state legislative districts - lower house.

The congressional district map suite includes three map types (national, state-based, and congressional district-based) that depict the congressional districts in effect for the 114th Congress of the United States (January 2015-2017). 

The 114th Congressional District Relationship Files provide simple relationships between the 118th Congressional Districts and other 2010 Census tabulation geography including American Indian areas, counties, county subdivisions, census tracts, places, school districts, urban/rural population and land area, and ZIP Code Tabulation Areas.
