How to find legislative districts

For a single address:

• http://rrcc.lacounty.gov/OnlineDistrictmapApp/

For a list of addresses

1. Geocode the address
   • Yahoo Geocoding API
2. Using the geocoded latlong coordinates, the Sunlight Congress API

Other methods

• Find a list of ZIP codes and match them to districts. Links: MN
  • This is prone to errors, as ZIP code boundaries do not coincide with district boundaries. This is used only for convenience and speed.
• GIS Spatial overlay
  1. Geocode using http://www.datasciencetoolkit.org/
  2. Convert lat/long to points using GIS tool, then overlay against the district polygons. MN
  3. Do a spatial join and update/export the results.
