Vote impact: Below average

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: Low · 18 out of 100

This district is large for its type, so each vote is a smaller slice of the outcome. About 75,388 people live here.

score = 100 × ln(largest population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(largest ÷ smallest), rounded to 2 decimals = 100 × ln(631,818 ÷ 75,388) ÷ ln(631,818 ÷ 5) = 18.1, comparing cities and towns in KY (grades: 66+ high, 33+ average, otherwise low)

Decisiveness: Unknown

No past results for this contest yet.

Low representation + unknown decisiveness → Below average vote impact.

Some data is missing, so this rating is based on partial information and capped at "High".
