Circuit Population Cartograms¶

Based on Rev 2.1 of the Federal Judicial Balance and Accountability Act¶

Current vs. Proposed Circuit Arrangement¶

This comparison shows the population imbalance in the current 11-circuit system (2 of 11 in band, 4.79:1 ratio) against the FJBAA's proposed 15-circuit system (14 of 15 in band, 1.40:1 ratio). Each colored square represents approximately the same number of people — visual uniformity is population equity.

Proposed 15-Circuit Population Cartogram (Config M)¶

Detailed view of the recommended configuration with toggle between population cartogram and approximate geographic layout.
