Scarsdale didn't have nearly as large a Jewish population back in the 60s, for what it's worth, although there were tensions about the Jewish population growing. My mother grew up there in the 60s and recalls that Jews were not allowed into the Scarsdale Golf Club when her family were members (not just not allowed to be members - actually not allowed entrance even as a guest).

Westchester 1988 map:

Scarsdale noticeably more D, all the other elite areas are R. Jewish vote was more distinctive then.

It's most striking that the least wealthy parts of Scarsdale (in the southwest, especially east of Rte 22) voted solid R, and the wealthiest parts (in the far north*) voted solid D. Very unusual pattern for the 1980s.

*Well, there are wealthier parts of Scarsdale, such as along Heathcote Road, but those pockets aren't large enough to dominate a precinct on the map.
