Notes

Districts are filled by the party of the officials on this site who hold them; a hatched district has no one here today or is shared by members of more than one party. “Lines since” is the first general election held on the district’s lines: results before it describe a different place.

About these figures

The figures from the American Community Survey are estimates from a sample, not a count. The ± beside each is its 90 percent margin of error: nine times in ten the true value lies within that range. In small districts the margins are wide, so a gap of a few points from United States may be noise. Shares are of everyone in the district, except education (adults 25 and over), poverty (people whose poverty status is known) and veterans (civilian adults).

These are the Census Bureau’s own estimates for the district; margins on shares are approximated from the counts’ margins.

The rural share counts the people living outside the urban areas the Census Bureau drew from the 2020 Census; it is a count, with no margin of error.

Opinion

What New York’s adults think, estimated from the lab’s national survey.

Estimates for each state come from multilevel regression and poststratification (MRP): a model of every respondent’s answers by age, race, education, sex and their state’s 2024 vote, weighted to the state’s population. Rank 1 is the highest of the 51 states. See Public Opinion for the questions and the national trends.

An estimate is uncertain, especially in small states: the 95% interval shows the range. Ranks between states whose intervals overlap mean little. Estimates as of Nov 3, 2026.

What its officials say

4.9% of New York’s officials’ statements make personal attacks, against 4.7% nationwide.

An AI model reads each statement (posts on X, press releases, newsletters, floor speeches) and marks the kinds of statement it contains; a rate is the share of statements with that label, in the officials’ current terms. The New York dashboard has the trends, topics and leaders.

Ideology and lawmaking

97,487 bills in the New York legislature since 2019, 5,293 of them law (5.4%).

CSIP is the lab’s ideology score from roll calls, donations and text, on one scale for every official (0 is the centre of the scale, not “moderate” by definition). The legislature’s party gap is measured within each chamber from its own roll calls, in standard deviations of its members’ positions. See Bills for every legislature.

Money

45% of itemized gifts to its members of Congress came from inside New York; 91% of itemized gifts to its state officials came from inside New York (latest cycle).

Itemized donations are individual gifts over $200 a cycle, the only ones reported with an address; totals and shares count those only. Aggregates only: no donor is named.

Notes

Reporting is voluntary: a year’s count rises and falls with the number of police agencies that took part, not only with crime. Few agencies reported in the early 1990s, and in 2021 the FBI took reports only through its incident-based system (NIBRS), which many agencies had not yet joined. The Political Violence page has each year’s coverage.
