Chan School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts; and Department of Political Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Dr White), Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Context: Technological innovation and access to big data have allowed partisan gerrymandering to increase dramatically in recent redistricting cycles.
Objective: To understand whether and how partisan gerrymandering, including "packing" and "cracking" (ie, respectively concentrating within or dividing specified social groups across political boundaries), distorts understanding of public health need when health statistics are calculated for congressional districts (CDs).
Design: Cross-sectional study using 2020 CDs and nonpartisan simulated districts.
