- Polsby-Popper
- 0.17at least as compact as 27% of districts on this measure

- Reock
- 0.41at least as compact as 28% of districts on this measure

- Convex hull
- 0.67at least as compact as 21% 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
21% 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
