Escambia County Completes Redistricting, New District Lines Now In Effect
December 8, 2021
Escambia County’s new district lines went into effect on Tuesday.
The biggest change across the county was a boundary shift moving Perdido Key into District 1.
In terms of land area, District 1 is second behind District 5. There were only minor adjustments to District 5, with all of the district now north of Nine Mile Road or I-10.

Based on data collected from the 2020 census, total population for Escambia County is 321,905. The total voting age population (VAP) is 258,145. The new map allows for a population of 61,909 in District 1; 66,316 in District 2; 62,652 in District 3; 67,553 in District 4; and 63,475 in District 5.

Those of you who live north of 9 Mile Road and feel ignored, don’t feel bad because those of us in Myrtle Grove feel ignored as well.
the LOW LIFE politicians need to STAY OUT AND STOP RIGGING THE ELECTIONS. OUR VOTE SHOULD BE IT – NOT THIS!!
Nice to see that my old home that I left behind for Santa Rosa will NOT be represented by Lumon May.
And just like that my district has been changed from 5 to 4. It would have been nice to have been notified that it was under consideration. Of course the district 5 commissioner never came to the east side of his district anyway.
So I’ve been redistributed into D1 with perdido key…even though I live in Ensley.
Great, Jeff Bergosh is my new counsel member–the guy who complained the pandemic was lasting too long in April/ May 2020. I’m sure when its time to vote for if he keeps that job or not he’ll be so forthcoming with his policy positions and be willing to engage constituents when we reach out. It was so fun trying to figure out anything about anyone listed on ballots last midterms beyond Facebook endorsements from local businesses.
But that would just be expecting the bare minimum from an elected official in a public posting >.>
poor decision imho for Perdido Key, more thought and planning should have been taken into consideration for how funds will be spent or response to local beach issues after natural disasters when compared to the rapid growth and attention that Beulah will deserve itself. It will almost certainly be a difficult challenge going forward and appears driven by voting population more than anything.
job very well done. smart move.
I am still stuck with the same
old crook……..as before………
his staff will lie to you, and he want
come out and see what your real problem is………
They did a great job getting that done with the late start. The cooperation between the joint bodies is commendable.
