Updates

After many years of faithful service and thousands of community-based maps drawn, Districtr is getting a makeover in 2025!

• Block-level detail: the ability to take a precinct and "shatter" it into its component Census blocks. This lets you draw maps very tight population deviation.
• Hotkeys/keyboard shortcuts: P to paint, M to move, etc.
• Save/share: You can share in an editable or a view-only version.
• Customizable district colors.
• Map validation:
  • Contiguity check lets you zoom to components.
  • Find unassigned units.
• Draggable and resizable toolbar.
• Import/export: we already had block assignment exports, but now we have improved block assignment imports.
• Demographics and elections: new viewing options let you see choropleths (shaded or colored maps) side-by-side or overlaid. There is also adjustable binning for the shading.
• Locking individual districts.
