Cities vs. rest of county

[Pouring Rain and Blairing Music]

California’s SOS website gives this sort of statistic once all of the votes are certified. Search for “Political Districts within Counties”.

I gave the 2018 election as an example, but I know that the same sort of stuff is available for 2016. You’ll have to compare the city you’re interested in to the results of entire county without that city.

While not on list of requests here is for Washoe County

Reno:

Biden: 88,835 (52.3%)
Trump: 76,020 (44.8%)
Total: 169,786

Sparks:

Trump: 36,928 (49.9%)
Biden: 34,972 (47.3%)
Total: 74,002

Unincorporated parts

Biden: 4,245 (52%)
Trump: 3,705 (45.4%)
Total: 8,168

so rest of Washoe County

Trump: 40,633 (49.4%)
Biden: 39,217 (47.7%)
Total: 82,170

Quite shocked Biden won unincorporated parts, I assumed those would go heavily for Trump, but perhaps most are near Reno and the northern parts of county only a few precincts.

There’s a Native American reservation in the southeast part of the county. Gerlach and Empire have barely anyone and I don’t think there’s anything more than a ranch or two north of the reservation (aside from Gerlach and Empire)

That makes sense as pretty sure the ranchers overwhelmingly went for Trump, but I expect on the Indian Reservation, Biden probably won pretty big.  I believe Native Americans are the second most reliably Democrat group after African-Americans.

I also forgot that Incline Village is in Washoe. That’s a ski resort area; not sure that it follows the general known pattern of those, but it would be easily identifiable with a precinct map.

Sacramento county below.  Citrus Heights was only incorporated municipality Trump won, so any idea why he won that?

Sacramento:

Biden 75.09%
Trump: 22.44%

rest of Sacramento County:

Biden: 55.1%
Trump: 42.33%

Citrus Heights and Orangevale (unincorporated area between Citrus Heights and Folsom) are definitely poorer, less educated, etc. compared to Folsom or Elk Grove.
