The source for statistics charted above is the Dallas City Council Redistricting web site page at http://www.dallascityhall.com/Redistricting/planReview.html.  That page is found from the Dallas City Council Redistricting homepage at http://www.dallascityhall.com/meetings/redistricting_commission.html  by clicking on the meeting link on the left side of the screen and then going to meeting data, and "Redistricting Plan Submissions" online for the 7/12/11 meeting.

The above chart tracks the average of the five highest district percentages for Hispanic Voting Age Population, and the average of the three highest district percentages for Black Voting Age Population.  It then also provides the lowest of these numbers for each population group to give an indication of the level all districts in each group are above.

Again, questions are welcome!
