This map replaces my prior submission. A minor correction in Bucks County improves the compactness metric from 66 to 68, and also reduces school district splits. Like the previous submission, this map accepts a slightly larger population variance than the original FDPA People's Map to reduce splits and improve compactness. Updated comparison of metrics to FDPA People's Map: POPULATION DEVIATION FDPA People's Map: 4.98% Updated Submission: 5.57% COMPACTNESS FDPA People's Map: 62 Updated Submission: 68 SPLITTING FDPA People's Map: 77 Updated Submission: 81 MINORITY REPRESENTATION FDPA People's Map: 61 Updated Submission: 57 (As previously noted, the difference is in "opportunity districts") MAJORITY MINORITY DISTRICTS FDPA People's Map: 5 Updated Submission: 5 MAJORITY BLACK DISTRICTS FDPA People's Map: 3 Updated Submission: 4 PROPORTIONALITY (Based on 2012-2018 Composite election data) FDPA People's Map: 100 Updated Submission: 100 PARTISAN BIAS FDPA People's Map: 48 Updated Submission: 52 VOTES BIAS FDPA People's Map: 2.03% R Updated Submission: 1.49% R SEATS BIAS FDPA People's Map: 6.10% R Updated Submission: 4.41% R Note: The "Competitive Districts" metric is highly sensitive to the choice of election data. This metric slightly favors the FDPA map in some scenarios, and the amended map in others. The maps are roughly comparable in this regard, and neither pursues competitiveness as a high priority.
