Vote impact: 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: Average · 33 out of 100

This district is mid-sized for its type, so each vote carries average weight. About 23,627 people live here.

score = 100 × ln(largest population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(largest ÷ smallest), rounded to 2 decimals = 100 × ln(977,670 ÷ 23,627) ÷ ln(977,670 ÷ 13) = 33.16, comparing cities and towns in FL (grades: 66+ high, 33+ average, otherwise low)

Decisiveness: Unknown

No past results for this contest yet.

Average representation + unknown decisiveness → Average vote impact.
