The factors that help Democrats most are a high Hispanic population, when the entire state is highly urbanized, or when there are a whole bunch of college grad heavy rural areas. They do best in the Southwest and New England.
The factors that help Republicans most are a high black population and when there is a single large city, ideally in the middle of the state. They do best in states with significant majority/plurality black cities and in places where the rural white vote isn't as unanimous, generally the Midwest and Upper South
Most pro-Dem: AK, HI, CA, TX, NV, CO, MA, RI, CT, AZ (R's held the legislature only due to ticket splitting),
Most pro-GOP: WI, MI, MO, OH, PA, TN, KY, NC, IL, NY (the NYC Dem pack is still significant)
This can change significantly over time. VA and MD used to be very pro-GOP, but are basically unbiased using Biden numbers since enough of the outer suburbs flipped. MN used to be very pro-Dem but is now basically even.
Agree that midwest is the most pro-R, since the polarization in rural white is moderate, as compared to the south.
I would say MN is very pro-R. If R control the process, they can draw a 6-2 maps easily.
