In Arkansas, there are no state law requirements for congressional districts.
Interpretation of requirements
We enforce a maximum population deviation of 0.5%, which is in line with the low deviation seen in past congressional district maps.
We limit the number of county/municipality splits, which is in line with the small number of county/municipality splits observed in past congressional district maps.
Data Sources
Data for Arkansas comes from the ALARM Project's 2020 Redistricting Data Files.
Data for Arkansas' 2020 congressional district map comes from All About Redistricting's Maps for Download.
Pre-processing Notes
No manual pre-processing decisions were necessary.
Simulation Notes
We sample 5,000 districting plans for Arkansas across two independent runs of the SMC algorithm.
No special techniques were needed to produce the sample.
