Florida / FL-16

Florida District 16

35 Compact

Less compact than 30% of other congressional districts.

302nd least compact of 429 nationally, 13th of 28 in Florida.

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
0.31at least as compact as 73% of districts on this measure

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

Reock
0.52at least as compact as 61% of districts on this measure

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

Convex hull
0.81at least as compact as 63% 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

25% 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
