Surprising how ugly most of these maps are. I tried making a more compact one. https://davesredistricting.org/join/b2e3ecff-2da9-42f2-b9bb-d467c78a4a52

In this map the 2nd district is plurality-black CVAP despite only staying in the New Orleans area- there's no need to expand it outwards any further. And the 6th is Biden+3 so would probably stay R in 2022 but would be competitive in general. 5th is Trump+16 so almost certainly safe but could conceivably fall with a strong candidate in a favourable midterm.



Part of me is immensely displeased by the fact your 2nd splits both Orleans and Jefferson parishes, while another part of me is pleased by the compactness.
I guess what I would have done is give it all of Orleans but otherwise leave the map unchanged.

Louisiana Parishes, especially in the Southeast corner suck
Depends on the parish.
I will say the discontiguity of St. Martin Parish is something of an eyesore though.
