Population Growth from 2010 to 2020 18.7%
Following the dramatic growth and geographic shift in population documented by the 2020 Census, the Irving City Council approved new Council District boundaries on Nov. 11, 2021. Third party consultants were used to analyze the data to design these new districts and ensure that each single-member district served roughly the same number of Irving residents. The new district boundaries reduced the area of District 5, which has seen explosive population growth, and adjusted the boundaries of districts 1, 4 and 7, in order to restore equilibrium between them.
