    The document contains population data for 67 counties in Pennsylvania organized into lists of county names, populations, and orders. It then defines variables and processes to redistrict the counties into districts of approximately equal population (11,503 people each in this case). The counties are iterated through and assigned to districts, with residuals tracked, until all counties are redistricted. District names and populations are appended to lists for output.
