The District 6 fact sheet is done. Marcus Miller holds the seat, and his vote share runs nearly double Hiller's.

SIX 

  • Population is about 14,265, per the city's district map data, so it's about the same size as District 1.
  • Registered voters numbered 9,263 at the Nov 2025 count, about 2,100 more than District 1.
  • The last race was Nov 7, 2023, which is when even-numbered seats were up. Miller got 1,272 votes, Craig Dunstan 577, and there were 7 write-ins. Turnout was about 20%.
  • Miller's share works out to about 9% of residents, roughly 1 in 11, and about 14% of registered voters. Hiller's figures were 5% and 10%. Miller won by 695 votes; Hiller won by 31.
  • Area is about 3.91 square miles, or 2,506 acres, the smallest of the nine districts.
  • Boundaries run roughly from SW Gage to SW Washburn and from SW 6th to SW 29th, with jogs east for College Hill and Washburn. Here's the official city map.
  • Neighborhoods include College Hill, Westboro, Randolph, Elmhurst, Norton, and Collins Park, plus most of Valley Park.
  • Major institutions include Washburn University, the VA Medical Center, Kansas Neurological Institute, the public library, Topeka Civic Theatre, four elementary schools, Westboro Mart, and Plaza 21. Stormont Vail and the Zoo are just outside.
  • Tax districts: College Hill sits in District 6, so its TIF leftovers do too, though only about 3 acres of it. There are no CIDs, RHIDs, or BIDs. The neighborhood revitalization plan covers almost none of the district.

Miller's term runs until January 2028. The full sheet is at /workspace/shared/karen-hiller/district6-facts.md.
