Wisconsin’s redistricting battle is moving into high gear with the release of detailed census numbers. The numbers released Thursday show a growing diverse population in urban areas such as Milwaukee County, rural population losses and other shifts.

Dane County, which includes Madison, grew the most, at 15%, while Milwaukee County lost about 1% of its population.
