- This is the number of people from each State Senate district in state prison or a local jail as of 2020. See the methodology section of the report.
- Census population, 2020
- This is the population of the State Senate district as reported in the 2020 Census.
- Total population, 2020
- This is the total population of the State Senate district as reflected in the 2020 Census plus the imprisoned population.
