Welcome to the home page of the interactive version of the Legislative District Data Book, published annually in hard copy and on CD-ROM by the Center for Government Services (CGS), in the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, at Rutgers.
A public service of CGS, the Online Data Book allows users to analyze and map data for counties, municipalities, school districts, state legislative districts, and federal Congressional districts in New Jersey. Population, housing, schools, voting, and fiscal and economic profiles and maps illustrating the data may be displayed and saved in electronic form.
The datasets contained in this version of the Data Book are more limited than the published versions. To find out more about the Data Book, or to purchase a copy, go to: [http://www.policy.rutgers.edu/cgs/pub.php]
The Online Data Book was made possible by a grant from the Fund for New Jersey.
