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
- 0.16at least as compact as 23% of districts on this measure
Area compared with perimeter. Low for jagged or snaking edges.
- Reock
- 0.57at least as compact as 73% 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 62% 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
56% 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

2024 presidential vote
Shares of the votes for the two of them; other candidates are left out. New York used the same lines in 2024, so this is added up from precinct results. A precinct split between districts is divided by its House votes, so the figures are close estimates. Where the votes come from
