Sorry for doing this with two party vote, but here is Franklin vs. the rest of Williamson County, TN.  This is not precise because precinct lines don't correspond with municipal lines.  I tried to eyeball whether the majority of the population of a precinct would fall into Franklin when assigning split precincts.

Franklin: 59-41 Trump, 64-36 Hagerty, 65-35 Green
Rest of County: 66-34 Trump, 70-30 Hagerty, 70-30 Green

Probably Tuesday, I will have an in depth thread about Williamson County in 2020.

Here's another take at Jefferson County Alabama--- compare / contrast swings and Total Votes between 2016 and 2020 US PRES GE results:

Mountain Brook numbers look odd....




Are those numbers for Hoover just the Jefferson County side, or do they include Shelby County Hoover as well?  Vestavia Hills is also very similar to Mountain Brook, and it also swung Republican.  Hoover, on the other hand, is more of an upper-middle class (but less ultra-wealthy) community.  It seems to be showing swings more inline with other well-off Southern suburban areas.  I haven't looked at Belle Meade, TN yet, but I wonder if it also didn't swing left (it might be hard to get this because Davidson County doesn't allocate mail-in votes by precinct).  Maybe it's a case of the super wealthy in the South not budging, whereas the upper-middle class, growing suburbs did bleed a little support?

It's interesting Shelby County swung left by 9%, but Vestavia Hills swung rightward. What are the types of suburbs like in Shelby? I was under the impression that they were more similar to Vestavia Hills, albeit not as affluent as Mountain Brook.

My understanding is that Vestavia Hills is a little more upscale than most of Shelby County's suburbs.  Shelby County is the richest county in Alabama, but the most wealthy parts of Birmingham are in Jefferson County.
