The two trustee districts on the north side (1 and 2) lost population, as did Trustee District 3
in the southeast. Three districts (5, 6, and 8) experienced moderate growth over the decade.
The fastest growth occurred in District 4 (10,713), District 7 (15,431), and District 9 (25,346).
Because District 9 is more than 14 percent over the mean population for all districts in HISD,
and District 1 is more than 8 percent below the mean, the range of 22.40% requires
redrawing the present trustee boundaries.
