Fulshear is taking steps toward redistricting as City Council districts continue to become more uneven due to population growth since the 2020 census.

Zooming in

A study conducted by law firm Bickerstaff Heath Delgado Acosta LLP found that the city more than doubled its current population, putting the standard deviation between the largest and smallest district at 153.22%—significantly above the court-interpreted requirement of 10%, attorney Sydney Falk said at a Sept. 2 Fulshear City Council special meeting.

Falk said he estimates the city to now have a population of about 38,724, an average of 3.4 people per housing unit, which would put the average district size at 7,745 people, with approximately:

13,233 people in District 1

3,238 people in District 2

4,492 people in District 3
