[constituency_baseline] District summary: North Carolina's 7th Congressional District covers the southeastern corner of the state, including the city of Wilmington, the coastal plains, and parts of the Sandhills. It encompasses New Hanover, Brunswick, Pender, Columbus, and Bladen counties, plus portions of Robeson County. The economy is driven by tourism, agriculture (especially poultry, hogs, and tobacco), the Port of Wilmington, and a large military presence (Camp Lejeune is adjacent). The district is vulnerable to hurricanes and flooding, making federal disaster policy a perennial concern.
