North Carolina's congressional districts

North Carolina's congressional districts since 2013[1]

North Carolina is currently divided into 13 congressional districts, each represented by a member of the United States House of Representatives. After the 2000 Census, the number of North Carolina's seats was increased from 12 to 13 due to the State's increase in population. North Carolina is considered to be one of the most gerrymandered states in the country.[2] On February 5th, 2016, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ruled that the 1st and 12th districts' boundaries were unconstitutional.
