Councilmember Margaret Chin’s Office provided these maps to The Villager to illustrate the factors at play in any potential redistricting of her district, specifically pertaining to the northern end of Chin’s Lower Manhattan First Council District. The areas highlighted in yellow on the map above include population figures for voting-age residents living in the Washington Square area, on the N.Y.U.-owned superblocks, in Soho and Noho. The map below shows a small portion of the above highlighted map — a section of the East Village, with 3,000 residents — that Chin and her staff believe might possibly be redistricted into neighboring District 2. However, Chin doesn’t foresee a major reshaping of her district.
