Since 1978, voters have elected council members from among candidates living within their district, plus the mayor who is elected at large citywide. With the subsequent release of decennial census data by the US Census Bureau in the years 1980, 1990, 2000, and 2010, City Council District boundaries have been adjusted to meet legal requirements and San Jose's own redistricting criteria. The City Council District boundaries are updated every ten years. This is an archive dataset of the Council District boundaries as established in 1978 and effective until the 1981 redistricting was finalized. See CityCouncilDistrict dataset for current boundaries.This dataset is for historic reference and is not updated. |
