Contra Costa County begins process of redrawing supervisor districts this week

Contra Costa County will host a public hearing on Tuesday to kick off its redistricting process, which occurs every 10 years.

In alliance with U.S. Census data, counties must redraw their supervisorial districts to ensure each section is equal in population. The 2020 U.S. Census data is to be released on Sept. 30, but county officials plan to move ahead with resident input beforehand.
