I'm curious how Hawaii ended up on the least compact list.

The districts are 1) Honolulu 2) Everything else.

Perhaps they counted the coastlines around each of the major islands as part of the electoral boundaries or something?

Trivia question:

Which are the districts which are most compact?

Hint 1: One district is best under two different measurements.
Hint 2: At-large districts are not included, so AK, MT,WY, ND, SD, DE, and VT are excluded.

Nevada's 1st seems to be fairly compact?
