iRedistrict®

iRedistrict allowed me to create multiple police patrol district scenarios in a short amount of time. enabling us to produce an initial set of districts very quickly. The population and demographic features meant that we could make adjustments on the fly. I look forward to using this tool on future projects.

This tool in the hands of a seasoned professional or novice can achieve the same results in a very short period of time frame. iRedistrict has the capability of generating so many good choices that it makes it easier to arrive at a consensus with the electorate and elected officials. It is truly amazing how many scenarios (election maps) can be generated. iRedistrict truly empowers everyday common people to participate in the democratic process of redistricting!

We have utilized iRedistrict in the boundary planning workflow for nearly six years. One of iRedistricting’s most used features in our office is reassigning small geographies to various schools. It is beneficial for us to be able to view these associated changes in projected student enrollment and demographic composition tabulated in the provided report.

I use iRedistrict to create zones with equal numbers of customers for FTTH in a municipality with 3,000 polygons. It generates better results than the solution we used before.

iRedistrict is an indispensable tool for the GIS and Redistricting class I teach at the University of Maryland, College Park, and we use it regularly in our redistricting research. This program allows you to view a large number of alternative plans quickly, prioritizing alternative redistricting goals. I highly recommend it for redistricting courses containing a lab component, and for research applications involving a large number of plan comparisons.

iRedistrict is the most user friendly automatic zone design software we have encountered during our research. Its capabilities in visual comparison, the interactive examination of different output zones, and its ability to manually preserve areas of interest are especially valuable. iRedistrict enabled us to seamlessly import it’s output into our existing GIS projects. These features made it a pleasure to use.

I have been using iRedistrict for city redistricting projects. It’s all a matter of pushing a button once you have prepared data correctly. Highly recommend!

iRedistrict has tremendously cut down on our preliminary redistricting process. Whereas it took hours to come up with one redistricting scenario, it now only takes minutes to get multiple scenarios. Our favorite part of the software is allowing us to change the new districts boundaries on the fly and instantly showing us updated population and demographic data.
