He didn't do well in Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia, or Cincinnati. Doesn't matter if it was Republican machines that brought Hoover to the top in those places, FDR still outperformed him in those places in 1932 and 1936.
Well there was little thing called the depression then. Also he lost the Protestant vote in a landslide there .
New York City and Boston were more Catholic( and still are!) then those and he won there in a landslide.
