This data set contains the 25-precinct shapefile and related data for each precinct.
All possible partitions of the 25 precincts into three contiguous
congressional districts are stored in fl25_enum
, and the
corresponding adjacency graph is stored in fl25_adj
.
This is generally useful for demonstrating basic algorithms locally.
