A closer look
Utah's 2020 census geographic boundaries became available in February 2021 and the demographic redistricting legacy files (the 2020 Census Redistricting P.L. 94-171 Summary Files) became available on August 12, 2021. The Census Bureau will release a more user-friendly version of the 2020 Census Redistricting P.L. 94-171 Summary Files on September 30, 2021. In the meantime, UGRC, with collaboration from the Analytics Group at WFRC , opens in a new tab , has worked with the August 12 release and has created ready-to-use GIS data in several formats that hopefully make the 2020 redistricting data easier to use.
