Nevada Senate, District 6
The current District 6 of the Nevada Senate contains a part of the city proper Las Vegas. Its inhabitants are represented by senator Nicole Cannizzaro since the 2016 election. Before that election, District 6 was represented by Mark Hutchison and Mark Lipparelli in that order.
The sixth senatorial district was created when the districts were redrawn in 2011 as a result of the 2010 Census. The borders of the redrawn districts went into effect on January 1, 2012 for filing for office, and for nominating and electing senators. They became effective for all other purposes on November 7 – the day after Election Day, when the new senator terms began. The borders of District 6 are defined in the Nevada Revised Statutes using census tracts, block groups, and blocks. Two senatorial elections have been held in the district since its creation, and one person has been appointed senator for the district.
District 6's surface area amounts to 25.9 square miles (67 km2), and it has a perimeter of 28.4 miles (45.7 km). The territory of the district overlaps exactly with that of the assembly districts 34 and 37. Just over 75,000 registered voters lived in District 6 in 2010, which was 60% of the total population and 75% of the voting age population. Only three of the 20 other senatorial districts had a higher number of registered voters. 43% of registered voters were Democrats, and 36% Republicans. Another 16% was non-partisan.
District 6 had a total of 128,587 inhabitants according to the 2010 Census, which was 0.01% below the ideal population for Nevada's senatorial districts. About 70% of the district's population is solely white, and almost 20% is Hispanic or Latino, which is relatively low compared to the rest of Nevada. Nearly a quarter of the inhabitants of District 6 are 60 years old or more, which is 6% more than in all of Nevada. Furthermore, the district's population is a little bit better educated than the rest of Nevada. For example, just under 10% of its residents have no high school diploma compared to over 15% in Nevada. The median household income is a few thousand dollars above the median of the entire state, and the poverty rate is 11%.
