This template is used to include lots of statistical information about a [[United States congressional district]] in a neat table.

==Usage==
{{Parameter names example | cpvi | created | district number | eliminated | english area = 123 | image alt | image caption | image name | image width | median income | member type | metric area | obsolete | party = Example| percent asian | percent black | percent blue collar | percent gray collar | percent grey collar | percent hispanic | percent native american | percent other race | percent rural | percent urban | percent white | percent white collar | population | population year | representative | state =California | years }}

Copy and paste the template below:
<pre style="overflow: auto;">
{{Infobox U.S. congressional district
| state =
| district number =
| image name =
| image width =
| image caption =
| member type =


| representative =


| party =
| residence =


| disamb =


| english area =
| metric area =
| percent urban =
| percent rural =
| population =
| population year =
| median income =
| ethnicity ref =
| percent white =
| percent black =
| percent asian =
| percent native american =
| percent native hawaiian =
| percent hispanic =
| percent other race =
| percent more than one race =
| percent blue collar =
| percent white collar =
| percent gray collar =
| cpvi =
}}</pre>

===Usage for obsolete congressional districts===
Add the following fields to use this template in articles for [[List of obsolete United States congressional districts|obsolete congressional districts]].
<pre style="overflow: auto;">
| obsolete = yes


| created =
| eliminated =
| years =

</pre>

==Notes==
* Only the '''state''' and '''district number''' fields are required. All other fields are optional, and the table has logic to display the data correctly even when some fields are missing. (However, if the first field in a category is missing, all fields in that category will be assumed empty. For example, if '''percent blue collar''' is missing, any value in '''percent white collar''' will be ignored.)

* You should not include units, percent signs (%), or dollar signs ($) in your fields. These are provided for you.

* For obsolete districts, the field '''obsolete''' is required, and must be '''yes''' in order for the remainder of the fields to display. This ensures that fields unique to obsolete districts will not be displayed on existing congressional districts.

==Examples==
Below are three examples, and what they look like.

{{Infobox U.S. congressional district
| state = Alabama
| district number = 1
| image name = Alabama1st.JPG
| image width = 250
| image caption = District map as of 2002
| english area = 7,182
| metric area = 2,322
| percent urban = 64.4
| percent rural = 35.6
| population = 635,300
| population year = 2000
| median income = 34,739
| percent white = 67.8
| percent black = 28
| percent asian = 1
| percent native american = 1
| percent native hawaiian = 0.5
| percent hispanic = 1.3
| percent other race = 1
| percent more than one race = 1.91
| percent blue collar = 29.7
| percent white collar = 54.5
| percent gray collar = 15.6
| cpvi = R+12
}}
