441:. Dorchester, Boston's largest neighborhood, needed to be split into at least two districts. A simple split in half would create either a north and a south district or an east and a west district. An east district would be largely White (75% or greater) and a west district would be largely African-American. North and south districts would have less extreme majorities. Many residents were opposed to both divisions, stating that they would increase racial segregation in Dorchester and continue the political powerlessness of minorities. A more complicated split taking into account areas with large minority populations would create one predominantly minority district and one predominantly white district but treat Dorchester as several smaller neighborhoods to be divvied up among surrounding neighborhoods rather than as one community. In various proposals, the South End, due to its location, was grouped with either South Boston or Back Bay/Beacon Hill by advocates of neighborhood unity, or Roxbury by advocates of minority-dominated districts. 2940: 2824: 2616: 2489: 2856: 2521: 2956: 2648: 2680: 2808: 2744: 2257: 2273: 2242: 2888: 2553: 2505: 2351: 2320: 2792: 2336: 2760: 708: 2712: 2924: 2397: 2382: 2584: 2537: 2412: 2569: 2457: 2304: 2366: 2872: 244: 63: 2632: 51: 2442: 2664: 2776: 2728: 2473: 2289: 2840: 2427: 4767: 2600: 2696: 2908: 453:). Today's district boundaries are only slightly different from those adopted in 1982, with the South End and South Boston forming one district, and Dorchester roughly split into an east and a west district. The Council faced more challenges after finalizing the new districts, such as whether or not district councillors should receive a lower salary than at-large councillors and where office space for four additional councillors could be found in 416:
