Census block equivalency files show this state's 119th- and 120th-Congress representations are block-identical, so the 119th-Congress ACS district product binds exactly to this district.

Structural five-year survey conditions — not current monthly conditions. Uncertainties are 90% margins of error: the published ACS margin for median income; Census-formula approximations (ACS handbook ch. 8) for the rates. “Margin unavailable” means the source supplies no usable margin — never zero.
