STATUS OF SOUTH BEND'S COMMON COUNCIL DISTRICTS <br /> Using the Precincts established by the County Commissioners and the population from <br /> the 2020 Census, the Committee has set forth in the attached Exhibit B the Precincts <br /> and population for South Bend's existing Council Districts. Because Indiana law <br /> requires that Districts must contain, as nearly as possible, equal population, the <br /> Committee has also shown for each existing District the extent to which the population <br /> is over or short compared to target one-sixth of South Bend's total population <br /> (i.e.,17,245 and 16.67%). <br /> As shown in Exhibit B, the present status of South Bend's Common Council Districts is <br /> very close to the 17,245 and 16.67%targets, as follows: <br /> • District 1 - population of 17,888 (17.30%) is only slightly more than one-sixth of <br /> South Bend's total population by 643 (0.63%) <br /> • District 2 - population of 16,546 (16.00%) is only slightly less than one-sixth of <br /> South Bend's total population by 699 (0.67%) <br /> • District 3 - population of 17,902 (17.30%) is only slightly more than one-sixth of <br /> South Bend's total population by 657 (0.63%) <br /> • District 4 - population of 16,843 (16.30%) is only slightly less than one-sixth of <br /> South Bend's total population by 402 (0.37%) <br /> • District 5 - population of 17,279 (16.70%) is only slightly more than one-sixth of <br /> South Bend's total population by 34 (0.03%) <br /> • District 6 - population of 17,011 (16.40%) is only slightly less than one-sixth of <br /> South Bend's total population by 234 (0.27%) <br /> RECOMMENDATION FOR A 2022 REDISTRICTING PLAN <br /> The Committee respectfully recommends that the South Bend Common Council enact <br /> a 2022 redistricting plan that would make no changes in the present Precinct and <br /> District assignments. The Committee's reasoning is: <br /> • the population in each District is already very close to the 17,245 and 16.67% <br /> targets with less than 1% variance; <br /> • this redistricting plan would comply with Indiana Code (IC 36-4-6-3) requirements <br /> that Council Districts "(a) be composed of contiguous territory, (b) be reasonably <br /> compact, (c) not cross precinct boundary lines, and (d) contain, as nearly as is <br /> possible, equal population"; <br /> • this redistricting plan would avoid unnecessary disruption of existing <br /> relationships between Council Members and their constituent neighborhoods <br /> and citizens. <br /> 4 <br />
