Hi, and Happy New Year! I tried writing out the definition repeatedly, making it more and more succinct, and came up with some possible names.
The sequence went something like: Fraction of cell area for which X is within the stated bounds Area fraction for which X is within the stated bounds Area fraction for X within bounds area_fraction_expressing_X (candidate?) area_fraction_featuring_X (candidate?) area_fraction_exhibiting_X (candidate?) area_fraction_with_X (candidate? I like this one best.) I figured they might at least spur some discussion. Feel free to hate them all. I won’t mind.
