Reporting and charting overview

Esri Redistricting Online has a variety of default charts and reports that you can generate based on your district plans.

Note:

The reports available in this topic may not be available in your application, depending on your user role and the configuration preferences of your organization.

Working with district plans and charts

Esri Redistricting Online supports working with district plans and charts simultaneously. As you make geography or district assignments, any opened charts update dynamically based on the changes made to districts and reflect up-to-date population changes.

Tip:

Only the districts and demographics that are visible on the map are visible on the charts. If you have hidden districts, these will be grouped in a category labeled Hidden. You will not see these districts individually on the charts.

Generating reports

Reports can be exported to PDF, Microsoft Excel, or HTML formats for sharing between users, dissemination to stakeholders, or printing. With Esri Redistricting Online, you can opt to email the report as an attachment to share with colleagues or business partners. Reports display census demographic information by geography, by FIPS code, or as a percentage of the total plan population.

For detailed steps on generating reports, see Generating a report from a plan.

The following reports are available:

Report Type	Description
Population Summary Report	Calculates the working census demographics by geography (for example, districts, precincts, or territories).
All Districts Summary Report	Shows the total population, demographics, and voting age population for each district.
Voting Age Population Report	Displays the voting age population (for example, all persons 18 years or older) in each district.
District Geography Report	Shows the total population of each geography in the plan, using the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) code.
District Statistics Report	Displays the total population and demographic information by district.
Unassigned Geographies	Generates a statistics table that contains the total population of unassigned geographies in each county of the district, divided into the Federal Information Processing Standards county code.
Comparison Report	Displays differences between the active plan and the compared plan. This option is only available if you have both an active plan and a compared plan open in your Esri Redistricting Online session.
Bill Text	Displays the smallest geography level by district and unassigned geographies. For example, if a district plan is made using county level assignments only, the Bill Text report displays all districts and the county assignment by district. However, if assignments are made at the Block Group level, the report will list the County-Tract-Block Group assigned for each district in the plan. Note: Bill Text reports can only be generated to SGML and HTML formats.
District Compactness	Generates a statistics table that contains the compactness of the district.
Assigned District Splits	Lists each county or precinct that is included in a district. Counties that are split (overlap) multiple districts, are denoted with an asterisk (*).
Metes and Bounds	Lists each district boundary using Metes and Bounds, a surveying method in which the limits of a parcel are identified as relative distances and bearings from landmarks. The Metes and Bounds report describes the district boundaries using TIGER/Line ID (TLID).

You can customize the reports to display fields that are of interest to your task. On the Report Definition dialog box, you can select the fields to include as columns in your report.
