California's 52nd congressional district, Congressional district in San Diego County, United States.
California's 52nd congressional district covers several cities in the southern part of the state, including San Diego, Chula Vista, National City, and Imperial Beach. These communities together form a densely populated region representing roughly 740,000 people.
The district was established after the 1970 census when California gained additional congressional seats. Duncan L. Hunter served as the first representative starting in 1993 before the boundaries were later redrawn.
The district population reflects California's diversity with 60 percent Hispanic, 15 percent Asian, 13 percent White, and 8 percent Black residents.
Representatives serve two-year terms and speak for a very diverse population with different economic backgrounds. The area is relatively densely settled with large urban centers and smaller suburban communities.
After the 2020 redistricting, the boundaries shifted significantly and now concentrate more on San Diego's South Bay area. This redesign substantially altered the political makeup and representation of the region.
