Co. Of Humboldt: Redistricting 2011 - Weigh In!

Humboldt County is required to redistrict, or adjust, supervisorial boundaries every ten years following the U.S. Census. The new boundaries must be drawn to balance the County’s population.

The 2010 Census data show that the total population of Humboldt County is 134,623, an increase of 8,105 over the last 10 years. This increase and the distribution of the County’s population as counted by the Census will require adjustments in the supervisorial district boundaries.
