Political Maps of Philadelphia

What’s Your District?

The district you live in depends on if you are looking at the city, state, or federal level. The district lines for the U.S. Congress is different from that of the state House and Senate or Philadelphia’s City Council. The city of Philadelphia is also divided into 66 wards and a total 1,703 voting divisions.

How Are Districts Decided?

Redrawn every 10 years after the federal Census, political boundaries are essential to our representation in government.

The current U.S. congressional districts were selected from a group of maps by the PA Supreme Court in early 2022. Read an analysis of the map done by Draw the Lines PA, a project of the Committee of Seventy. 

The Legislative Reapportionment Commission, a five-member, bipartisan body enshrined in the state Constitution, redrew Pennsylvania's 50 Senate districts and 203 House districts  following the 2020 Census. These maps took effect for the 2022 legislative elections.

The Philadelphia City Council districts currently in effect were also drawn following the 2020 Census and will be used through 2031. The new Council map approved in February 2022 will be used for the 2023, 2027, and 2031 municipal elections when all 17 Council seats -- 10 district and 7 at-large -- will be on the ballot.
