Forecasts Used to Create the 2024 Consensus Maps
To create a consensus map, we assign a party-specific point value to each rating category (safe, likely, leaning, tilt, toss-up). From there we calculate the average rating. Those average ratings determine the consensus rating, which may or may not be the most frequent one.
Only states rated safe by a large majority of forecasters are shown in the darkest shade of blue or red on the map. This allows for a more inclusive look at states that could be competitive in the right circumstances.
Forecasts within each section are listed in alphabetical order. All are weighted equally.

Note that several states, including Alabama, Louisiana, New York, North Carolina, and Ohio may have additional redistricting and new maps for 2024. As the outcome is largely unknown, forecasters have taken different approaches. Some are not making projections for any districts in one or more of these states, while others have rerated safe districts as toss-up where boundary changes are more likely. As of now, for the most part, we are ignoring these, with the consensus map largely going with a status quo for these states.

To arrive at the consensus map, we assign a party-specific point value to each rating category (safe, likely, leaning, tilt, toss-up). From there we calculate the average rating. Those average ratings determine the consensus rating, which may or may not be the most frequent one.
Only states rated safe by at least six of the forecasts are shown in the darkest shade of blue or red on the map. This allows for a more inclusive look at states that could be competitive in the right circumstances.
