I know there are no perfect answers, but I trust the outcome will be fair. I'm a resident of the East Cesar Chavez neighborhood, currently in District 3, and feel that it is better suited to be connected to downtown, currently District 9. Similarly, neighborhoods south of Town Lake (LBL) would better be grouped with neighbors south of the lake. I‐35 has been a man‐made tool to divide Austin, and we should not allow it to draw district lines as we work to reconnect that scar. I know the population of each area will determine where the lines should be drawn, but below is a rough idea of where I think the neighborhoods could be better grouped as districts in Austin.

From: Sent: To: Subject: Attachments: HPD ICRC Commissioners Wednesday, August 25, 2021 3:28 PM HPD ICRC Commissionsers DL FW: ICRC citizen input on: (1) Commissioner Falcon's info request on census "undercount" by geographic area PXL_20210825_185426013.jpg Rodriguez, Lisa From: Philip Wiley < Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 2021 8:27:05 PM (UTC+00:00) Monrovia, Reykjavik To: HPD ICRC Commissioners <ICRC.Commissioners@austintexas.gov> Subject: ICRC citizen input on: (1) Commissioner Falcon's info request on census "undercount" by geographic area *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Commissioners, In your August 18th meeting, during the City Demographer's presentation, an important question was asked that this may provide insight on. The Austin ‐ Travis County Census Strategy Map has the best data I have seen related to estimating census count success. Here is a link to the map, color coded based on response rate as of October 28th 2020. Again I am providing a Government asset posted publicly for your consideration:: https://www.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=66c1f6bdf2034bd898db56d964125573 West Campus Attached below is a map photo that shows the lowest response area in the City (28.8%) which is in West Campus, is also the densest housing tract in the city (Guadalupe / Rio Grande / MLK / 24th = Tract 6.08). The four other adjacent tracts that are primarily student housing all also had response rates below 50%. Likely the most stable and easiest to count / estimate tract was UT, which even showed a 6.8% decline in residents. Students working remotely from home in other cities during a pandemic created a unique census challenge. From what we know about the explosive growth of this area, it appears .low census response rates are correlated with population undercount. UT UNO ‐ NW UNO ‐ NE UNO ‐ SW UNO ‐ SE Eastern Crescent One might assume the eastern crescent was the second largest undercount area in the City based on census response rates, but also that all of the minority opportunity districts experienced more undercount than other districts. Undercount > D9, D1, D2, D3, D4. ‐6.8% 40.1% 11.9% 1.9% 129.2% 9207 3315 4478 4190 2306 8580 4645 5012 4268 5286 ‐627 1330 534 78 2980 6.01 6.05 6.06 6.07 6.08 1 Implications Likely ‐ some of the fastest growing parts / districts in the city also were the most undercounted. D10, which may be the slowest growing District in Austin, also had response rates >70%, >75%, >80%. Unless Districts are mapped at different sizes now, as …
Rodriguez, Lisa From: Sent: To: Subject: HPD ICRC Commissioners Thursday, August 26, 2021 6:33 PM HPD ICRC Commissionsers DL FW: ICRC citizen input on: (1) District 9, and border transitions with Districts 1, 3, 4, 5, and 10 From: Philip Wiley Sent: Thursday, August 26, 2021 11:33:08 PM (UTC+00:00) Monrovia, Reykjavik To: HPD ICRC Commissioners <ICRC.Commissioners@austintexas.gov> Subject: ICRC citizen input on: (1) District 9, and border transitions with Districts 1, 3, 4, 5, and 10 > *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Commissioners, The character of District 9 is defined by being the compact and connected city center of Austin At the core dense building forms, mixed use, quality and variety of transit options. Around that core are transition areas to lower density uses and districts. From a redistricting perspective, D9 plays a unique role of sharing borders with 3 of the 4 minority opportunity districts, and as Austin evolves D9 has the role and responsibility of absorbing newly densified areas that no longer contribute to minority district goals, which may include potential border changes described below. Census ‐ Results: D9 population grew faster than Austin. It appears D9 census results will show >99,000 residents, so it has more people than the average district size of 96,100. As it appears a material number of students were missed in the census count, D9 is unlikely to be targeted for >96,100 residents, but could be a candidate for <96,1000 residents because of the undercount. Outside census data, it also appears there will be ongoing disproportionate city center growth due to many development projects in various stages of completion and planning. All three underlined points may contribute to the Commission reducing the D9 land mass this cycle. Transition D1 to D9 (1) Downtown is somewhat unique in the formality of it's neighborhood plan, and it is very much a neighborhood to the 15,000 and growing fast who live here. The northeast quadrant was put in D1 last round. Ora Houston, speaking at the D1 ICRC session, asked that I‐35 become the new D1/D9 border. The first residential tower in that area is nearing completion, more are coming, and they will not likely support minority district racial mix goals. Suggestion: move precinct #325 from D1 to D9. CM Houston's testimony starts at the 25:17 minute mark here: https://austintx.new.swagit.com/videos/130488 (2) UT's LBJ School was put in D1 to recognize his contributions, and Ora Houston …

Hopefully this helps pull together key points from data presented (by others and myself) and public testimony.. I ask that you consider looking at a few maps you have seen already before but maybe not at the same time. Photos of 4 maps are attached, along with a descriptor and source link. Socio‐economic Map (housing prices) https://austintexas.gov/sites/default/files/files/Housing/Austin%20HMA final.pdf ANC Sector Map https://www.atxanc.org/copy‐of‐about Asian / Hispanic Geographic Distribution Maps http://www.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=365926 http://www.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=365928 My Observations for North and West Austin (defined as north of the lake, west of I‐35): People organize themselves in clusters, or bands, you can see it much clearer on demographic maps than the city district maps. (A) Primarily white, primarily higher income in a band close to the lake. "Waterfront prices" lead to other commonalities or communities of interest. On every map here. (B) Whether Koenig or Anderson is the divider, there are distinct minority concentrations north of there, Asian to the west, Hispanic in the central. (C) The current 10‐1 map (not shown) has more north / south orientation than the way the community organizes, which favors those with more resources to have their voice heard. General Recommendations with specific examples: 1 (D) View District 6 as the best chance at clustering people of Asian descent together. The north half of the district has a fairly large concentration, as does the north half of district 10. Recommendation: move district 326 from D10 to D6 in support of a higher Asian concentration in D6,, and evaluate other border opportunities (e.g. precincts 331, 328). You have heard people in north D10 testify they don't feel community links with 78703 = waterfront. (E) View District 10 as the waterfront district, extending out to the city's western border. As an example on the D6 / D10 shared border ‐ River Place in D6 is like asking UT and OU to share a row at a football …
