Florida 25 Precinct Shape File

Description

This data set contains the 25-precinct shapefile and related data for each precinct. All possible partitions of the 25 precincts into three contiguous congressional districts are stored in fl25_enum, and the corresponding adjacency graph is stored in fl25_adj. This is generally useful for demonstrating basic algorithms locally.

Usage

Format
