Do you really mean 0.05%? We typically use 0.5% as a maximum since that is reasonably consistent with SCOTUS decisions like Tennant.

0.05% as a middle ground between trying to get as low of a deviation as possible and trying to keep things somewhat compact.

I thought the standard for legislative districts was 90% to 110%.

That would be 20%. The standard is a 10% variation.

10% variation means 90% to 110%.
