The Reock degree of compactness, or Reock compactness score, is a ratio that quantifies the compactness of the geographic area of a voting district. The score is sometimes used as an indication of the extent to which a voting district may be considered gerrymandered.

Property	Value
dbo:abstract	The Reock degree of compactness, or Reock compactness score, is a ratio that quantifies the compactness of the geographic area of a voting district. The score is sometimes used as an indication of the extent to which a voting district may be considered gerrymandered. The Reock compactness score is computed by dividing the area of the voting district by the area of the smallest circle that would completely enclose it. Since the circle encloses the district, its area cannot be less than that of the district, and so the Reock compactness score will always be a number between zero and one (which may be expressed as a percentage).
