Under the 2017 plan, the 5th district comprised 359 precincts in the urban core of the municipality of Culiacán, with the state capital serving as the head town. 1996–2017
Under both the 1996 and 2005 plans – albeit with slight adjustments to the dividing line with the 7th district – the 5th district comprised the northern portion of the municipality of Culiacán. The state capital served as the head town. 1978–1996
The districting scheme in force from 1978 to 1996 was the result of the 1977 electoral reforms, which increased the number of single-member seats in the Chamber of Deputies from 196 to 300. Under that plan, Sinaloa's seat allocation rose from five to nine. The 5th district covered parts of the port city of Mazatlán and of its surrounding municipality, together with the municipalities of Cosalá, Elota and San Ignacio.
