The city has posted the Redistricting Map, plus some stats on each of the proposed wards:
http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/redistricting/ (I'm pasting the shorter link so it doesn't break - the stats and map can be found by clicking the first "bullet point" link on the right-hand side of the page.) The wards deviate in population from +2.47 percent to -3.62 percent - well within the +/- 5 percent standard. Though smaller is better, there may be room to iron out small inconsistencies. Also, one ward is 82% minority (Ward 5), three others are in the 50s (Wards 6, 8 and 9) and two are in the 40s (Wards 3 & 4). That makes six minority-opportunity wards, as the Strib accurately reported!
