Alabama District 2

Score

Irregularity score 11 Very compact

Less compact than 5% of other congressional districts.

409th least compact of 429 nationally, 7th of 7 in Alabama.

A score describes shape, not intent. Coastlines, rivers and the Voting Rights Act can all make a district irregular. How scores work

The three measures

Polsby-Popper
0.37at least as compact as 82% of districts on this measure

Area compared with perimeter. Low for jagged or snaking edges.

Reock
0.76at least as compact as 95% of districts on this measure

Area compared with the smallest circle around the district, counting only land. Low for stretched shapes.

Convex hull
0.90at least as compact as 89% of districts on this measure

Area compared with a rubber band stretched around the district, counting only land. Low for bites and tentacles.

Each measure runs from 0 to 1, where 1 is a perfect circle or a shape with no dents.

The state's edge

36% of this district's border is the state's edge: a coastline, a national border or a state line. Mapmakers don't choose those lines. A ragged one, like a coastline or a river, lowers Polsby-Popper. Reock and convex hull count only the state's own land, so water and neighboring states don't count against them. More on the state's edge

New lines for 2026
