Ideal district size = 9,081
▪Calculated by dividing Moorpark’s total population by the
number of districts
▪36,326/4 = 9,081.5
Total deviation = 1,715
▪Calculated by subtracting the smallest district’s population
from the largest district’s population
▪D4 (9,918) -D3 (8,203) = 1,715
Total deviation %= 18.88%

Defining “Communities of Interest”
Under California Elections Code, “community of interest” has a
specific definition in the context of redistricting:
Definitions of “communities of interest” do not include relationships
with political parties, incumbents, or political candidates.
A “community of interest”is a population that
shares common social or economic interests that
should be included within a single district for
purposes of its effective and fair representation.
