A Community of Interest (COI) is a group of people that:

• Share common social or economic interests
• Live in a geographically definable area
• Should be included within a single district for purposes of effective and fair representation in future elections

There are other potential COI that can also be considered in Redistricting such as:

• People with disabilities
• Senior citizens
• College students
• People who live in a particular neighborhood
• Even people who share concerns such as parents with young children, bicycle enthusiasts, topic interest groups, etc.

A COI does not include relationships with political parties, incumbents, or political candidates.

Ways to define your COI:

1. Use the Districtr Online Mapping Tool.
