Using DistrictBuilder, users can create and edit redistricting plans, or import and merge plans from other systems, all while having important demographics, elections, district contiguity and compactness scores, population statistics and other data close at hand. DistrictBuilder integrates with Google Maps, Esri ArcGIS, OpenStreetMap, or Bing maps. Also, DistrictBuilder has robust support for running public redistricting competitions, with competitive scoring and leaderboards users can submit to.
The DistrictBuilder software was developed by the Public Mapping Project with software engineering and implementation services provided by Azavea. Whether you work for a state or local government agency, an advocacy group or you are a legislator, DistrictBuilder has been designed to provide you with affordable, easy-to-use, customizable redistricting tools that make the redistricting process more open and collaborative across agencies and with the public.
DistrictBuilder is open source so you don't have to pay a license fee. If your team has the expertise, you can download the source code and build your own redistricting application. And new features are contributed back to the community of users.
