City Council Ward Redistricted

City of Urbana Official Ward Map 2024

City Council Ward boundaries were adjusted to reflect the Census 2020 population count and to rebalance the population among the seven wards. This redistricting of a new map was selected by the Urbana City Council in June 2024.

After receiving nine maps through an open submittal process utilizing the Dave's Redistricting website, three finalists were selected for further review and consideration. Members of the public were invited to provide feedback on the proposed finalists. City Council members reviewed the input received and selected a proposed final map.

After further Council discussion and Council modifications to the final map, a consensus was reached on a modified final map. Staff was then directed to prepare an ordinance and the final map for approval.
