Parcel Explorer now shows which U.S. Congressional and PA State House districts a parcel sits in — along with the current representative and a link to their official profile. A matching map layer in the Layers panel shades and outlines both sets of district boundaries, with labels, so you can see how they carve up Lackawanna County at a glance.

What are legislative districts on Parcel Explorer?

Select any parcel and the detail panel now includes a Legislative districts card showing its U.S. Congressional district and PA House district — each with the district number, the current elected representative, and a link to their official profile page. On the map itself, the new layer draws shaded, outlined district boundaries with labels for both Congressional and State House districts, so you can see exactly where one district ends and the next begins.

How do I turn on district boundaries?

Open Parcel Explorer, open the Layers panel, and check U.S. Congressional and/or PA State House under Legislative districts. Each layer has its own color and outline style, shown in the map legend, and they can be toggled independently or together.

Who is this for?

Residents who want to know their district and who represents them, journalists and researchers tracking how districts overlap with neighborhoods and parcels, candidates and campaigns mapping a district's footprint, and any civic-minded reader who wants a quick, parcel-level answer to "who represents this address?"
