Methodology

Where possible, data was pulled by legislative district directly from the U.S. Census Bureau from the American Community Survey. Estimates for program-specific activity for individual legislative districts were prepared using ZIP codes within administrative data and performing a population-weighted interpolation from ZIP codes to legislative districts using 2020 Census population data by Census Block.

Estimates for Unemployment Insurance data were created using a report that identifies new UI claimants during calendar year 2024 and estimating the number of initial payments, weekly claims, benefit exhaustions, and dollars paid using annual data for the state as a whole.

Estimates for workforce system data were made using participant records which had a contact date with the program from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024. Demographic details are self-reported and do not include individuals who did not self-identify.
