District 2 by the numbers

2,511
people: 1,861
homes: 56.4
sq. miles of land

Counted in the 2020 Census.

Median age: 43.6 (give or take 7.1)
Median household income: $48,235 (give or take $9,894)

About these figures

From the U.S. Census Bureau, for District 2 as the Census drew it in 2020. The county’s current district lines differ from those along about 2% of the county, so these figures are close, not exact.

Age and income are the American Community Survey’s 2020–2024 estimates, shown with their margin of error (90% confidence). For an area this small the margins are wide, and a figure whose margin is more than a quarter of it isn’t shown.
