With the release of 2010 Census figures, the City of Statesboro is beginning the process of evaluating population growth and determining whether the city's five districts need to be reshaped. In accordance with federal laws, each of the city's five districts must maintain relatively even populations - within a 10 percent deviation - to ensure fair and proper elections, according to Mandi Cody, director of Community Development for the city. Census data revealed an approximate 25-percent growth for the city's population, meaning district populations may be skewed, depending on where growth occurred since the 2000 census survey, she said - the city modified district lines after the 2000 figures were released.
