This report presents 1970 census population counts for congressional districts of the 93rd Congress, which began its first session in January 1973. Figures are shown for 429 districts plus the six states where a Representative is elected at large (Alaska, Delaware, Nevada, North Dakota, Vermont, and Wyoming). The House of Representatives has a total of 435 members.
The table includes total population and population of voting age (18 years and over) for 1970, together with 1960 total population, number and percent change between 1960 and 1970, and percent deviation of the district's population from the state average congressional district population in 1970. Populations shown for each congressional district for 1970 are consistent with the official resident state population totals.
Census statistics date back to 1790 and reflect the growth and change of the United States. Past census reports contain some terms that today’s readers may consider obsolete and inappropriate. As part of our goal to be open and transparent with the public, we are improving access to all Census Bureau original publications and statistics, which serve as a guide to the nation's history.
