apportionments
Distributed portions officially
Apportionments are divisions or distributions of something among multiple recipients, especially according to a plan or formula.
The word appears most often in political and legal contexts: the apportionment of legislative seats based on population, or the apportionment of costs among parties to a contract.
The census determines congressional apportionments.
