District 5 is 44.85% over ideal of 11,009

2 districts south of the bay are a possibility.

Looks to me like there is no way around it. Freeport gets one and DeFuniak gets two.

Wanna bet?

Well the numbers just aren't there for two districts with boundaries South of the Bay and inter coastal waterway. Population within that geographic area is just over 18,000. Population would have needed to have grown by 4,000 more people for it to work.

The line for district 5 will shift west of its current boundary to around Topsail for the number to work. District 1 will encompass all of the area south of 98 along 30A to Topsail.

The Miramar Beach area was the area with the greatest growth since 2000.
