The release of detailed numbers from the 2020 Census will start the Wisconsin battle over political district boundaries.
The state population grew by about four percent meaning it keeps its eight congressional districts.
The final local numbers are expected to show losses in rural areas and a growing diverse population in urban areas.
New district lines will be drawn for the congressional districts, 99 Assembly seats, and 33 Senate seats.
Republicans are in charge of the process, but Democratic Governor Tony Evers will be able to veto their maps if he doesn’t like them.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos says he’s confident his party will draw a map that Evers will sign.
