related topic: About state legislators
In 2020, the NCSL conducted a new survey of state legislator demographics to understand not only who the voters elected, but who the NCSL serves and what has happened to the organization's members since the last demographic survey in 2015, what has changed. 2020 figures do not include new members of the Legislative Council elected in 2020, who will take office in 2021.
Data for 2015 and 2020 are broken down into the following categories below: Gender, Race/Ethnicity, Generation*, Political Party, Religion and Highest Educational Level.
Note that data is incomplete for many states and categories (see "No Data" row). Therefore, any conclusions drawn from these data must face these limitations. Due to rounding, totals may sometimes be greater or less than 100%.

* Years used for each generation are: Generation Z (1998-present), Millennials (1981-1997), Generation X (1965-1980), Baby Boomers (1946-1964), Quiet Generation (1928-1945) and Best ( before 1928).
