We thank all reviewers for their comments, and will incorporate suggestions in the final version. We compare the proposed algorithms with baseline algorithms on the U.S. 2000 Census Data All algorithms are implemented in Python 3.7. We also calculate the optimal solution to verify the approximation ratio. See Table 1 in our submission for definitions. We will add more discussion on this in the final version.
