Regional Competitive Index

Our Regional Competitive Index is a ranking of how competitive Presidential Elections are in a given region. This index builds upon our Regional Partisan Lean to measure the gap between the strength of the leading party in a region and all other parties, on a scale from 0 to 100.

The higher the score, the more competitive the region is. Conversely, a lower score denotes a non-competitive region (aka a stronghold)
