In redistricting, the Ideal Population (or Ideal Value) is the optimal size for each district; derived by dividing the summed value of the control field by the number of districts (or by the number of members for multi-member districts).
For example, if a state has a population of 5 million people and requires twenty districts, the ideal population is 250,000 population (5,000,000 ÷ 20) in each district.
The ideal population for four districts in Connecticut is 902,829 and the districts in this map deviate from that value by -0.03% (302 below) to 0.05% (451 above)
