In the Wikipedia article List of United States congressional districts, there are data missing:

Do you know the district with the smallest area?

That thread doesn't provide an answer. Sad

What about Nevada's 1st CD?

There's a table at the bottom of the Wikipedia page. Just sort it by area.

NY-15 is the smallest.

No, those data refer to the penultimate census.

(But if it's not NV-1, then - judging by eye - I'd say it's still NY-15.)

Try this page census site. Go under the "Congressional Districts by Urban/Rural Population and Land Area" tab and it gives you total areas. You have to go state-by-state though.

Thank you so much for that link.

NY-15, with an area of 14.54 miČ, remains the smallest congressional district.

NV-1 has an area of 104.50 miČ.

NY-10 is 14.25 mi2

NY-13 is only 10.25 mi2, and it's the smallest according to the Census link.

Oh, how embarrassing! Embarrassed

But I never used to be good at math, anyway. Cheesy
