Maine Block Equivalency File (BEF) 2021 State Legislative Districts

As part of Phase 4 of the 2020 Census redistricting data program, the State of Maine submitted Block Equivalency Files (BEFs) for Congressional Districts (CDs) and State Legislative Districts (SLDs) to the United States Census Bureau. The State Legislative Districts BEF is a table in CSV format that lists all Census blocks in Maine along with their State Senate (SLDU) district number, State House (SLDL) district number, Census tract, County FIPS, and State FIPS codes. The U.S. Census Bureau uses the Block Equivalency Files to create geographic products such as maps and shapefiles for visualization and analysis.
