if one was to draw a congressional district map of LA based off of the traditional regions of the area, here is what I would do (note that I'm using 2000 census info)
District 24 looks like the 1990s District 24.
District 25 of course is the north county district similar to the 90s cd 25
District 26 is similar to the district Jim Corman represented in the 60s and 70s
District 27 looks like the district represented by Carlos Moorhead for 24 years
District 28 is the descendant of the district Richard Nixon won
District 29 is the descendant of the 1950s CD 16
District 30 is the descendant of the 1960s CD 29
District 31 has no main descendant and is basically the NE corner of the hispanic areas
District 32 is descended from the Gordon McDonough district of the 1950s
District 33 is descended from the 23rd district of the 1950s and 1960s
District 34 is the descendant of the district Chet Holifield represented from 1943-1974
District 35 is descended from the district won by Helen Gahagan Douglas in the 1940s
District 36 looks like the 1960s CD 17
District 37 is descended from the 1960s CD 31
District 38 is descended from the Craig Hosmer district of the 50s and 60s.
It a bit confusing since you have one more district in LAC than current numbers permit. I'd be curious to see your take if you used 14 CDs instead of 15.
