To add a political spin on things, I remember a topic a few years ago on states where the rural areas vote to the left of the large metro areas, and the only examples I remembered were New Hampshire, South Carolina, Arizona, Minnesota (only when counting the TC suburbs in isolation), Wisconsin (only when counting the MKE suburbs in isolation) and Alaska (and, IIRC, at the time Arkansas). Is that still largely true for Alaska (that Anchorage and its suburbs are more Republican than the rural areas of the state)?
It seems to be evening out to some extent. There's still large swaths of rural Alaska that vote D. Alaska was one of four or so states (plus DC) where Hillary won by area.
