How do we calculate vote impact?
Vote impact = representation (how much weight one vote carries here, the smaller the district's population, the higher the representation) + decisiveness (how likely this race is to be close, based on past results and number of candidates).
Representation: Average · 34 out of 100
This district is mid-sized for its type, so each vote carries average weight. About 42,670 people live here.
score = 100 × ln(largest population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(largest ÷ smallest), rounded to 2 decimals = 100 × ln(161,192 ÷ 42,670) ÷ ln(161,192 ÷ 3,564) = 34.87, comparing elementary school districts in TN (grades: 66+ high, 33+ average, otherwise low)
