Census and Ward Boundary Project

Every ten years, the Eugene City Council examines the population of City Council wards, based on the results from the U.S. Census. Data from the 2020 Census will be available in the Fall, at which time the Council will address potential ward boundary adjustments to accommodate population changes over the last 10 years.

The purpose of this process is to ensure that each ward has approximately equal population. An important initial step in the process is for City Council to direct staff as to what criteria to utilize when creating alternatives for possible new ward boundaries. This survey provides the community an opportunity to provide input on what criteria to utilize. The Council will consider the results of this survey as part of their discussion about criteria at their Work Session on June 16. Further work will not occur until October, when the new Census data becomes available.

The survey be open through June 6. Please take a few minutes to share your feedback. We value your input!
