Map error -- The map mislabels Lynchburg, VA as "Timberlake." Rhymworm (talk) 21:26, 8 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

The map is accurate—Lynchburg isn't in the district, while Timberlake is. The problem is that Timberlake is a tiny crossroads that doesn't merit being labelled in such a large size, since the size of the font of a placename on a map generally corresponds to its population size. Unfortunately, the map is from the United States Department of the Interior as a flat file, so I suspect that modifying it (without it looking bad) probably isn't viable. --WaldoJ (talk) 00:19, 9 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Out of date

This district was redrawn following the 2020 census. For example Powhatan County, which was in the 7th, is now in the 5th. There are other changes as well. Rickmbari (talk) 18:33, 25 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Like how the new district boundaries can already be seen below the infobox too —twotwofourtysix(talk || edits) 02:17, 26 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Due to Redistricting, the 5th Congressional District is slightly altered but it includes the majority of Southside and Central Virginia. I updated the counties in the region that will be apart of the new 5th district 2600:1003:B852:AC54:124:9ADF:B240:AA3F (talk) 19:43, 26 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
