Q. What is a community of interest? <br />A. The California Constitution defines a community of interest as: <br />A community of interest is a contiguous population which shares common social and economic interests <br />that should be included within a single district for purposes of its effective and fair representation. Examples of <br />such shared interests are those common to an urban area, a rural area, an industrial area, or an agricultural area, <br />and those common to areas in which the people share similar living standards, use the same transportation <br />facilities, have similar work opportunities, or have access to the same media of communication relevant to the <br />election process. Communities of interest shall not include relationships with political parties, Incumbents, or <br />political candidates. <br />
