District profile

The district is located in the southwestern Central Valley and consists of portions of Kern and Tulare Counties, including the whole Cities of Exeter, Ridgecrest, Tehachapi, Maricopa, and Taft, and portions of the Cities of Bakersfield and Visalia. The Cities of Bakersfield and Visalia were split to balance population while considering communities of interest.

Areas within the district share common social and economic characteristics as well as shared environmental concerns.
