There are various online and paper tools that allow residents to begin drawing maps of neighborhoods, communities of interest, or full district maps. Once the official census data is released, residents can amend their maps, Phillips said.
Residents can use Goleta’s StoryMap for mapped data potentially relevant to identifying communities of interest, such as school attendance boundaries, census boundaries, Board of Supervisors districts, airport noise contours, and city zoning.
The StoryMap also allows residents to look at voting age populations by race and ethnicity, education level, and income.
Latino residents are the biggest protected class ethnicity within the city, Phillips said, and current data shows that neighborhoods with the most voting-eligible Latino residents are in Old Town Goleta and parts of the northwest and southwest residential areas.
