Favorite Lake County?

[lfromnj]

TN: MS Delta county , large portion of black population isn't native but actually from the prison

FL: Exurban Orlando county, seems retiree heavy and has not trended Democrat

MI: Very interesting one, included a black resort for the black middle class of Chicago and Detroit. Used to be quite Democratic for rural Michigan even such as being the only rural county outside of the UP that Humphrey won.

IN: partial Chicaco exurban/suburban county but mostly based around its own city of Gary which is a very declining post industrial city.

IL: Despite being very close to its Indiana counterpart it isn't that similar. Does include the post industrial cities like Waukegan but these have actually grown quite a bit due to hispanic growth. Overall mostly a county known for upscale suburbs with 2 post industrial satellite cities and a few exurban areas.

CA: Atypical county in CA being the only real remaining  WWC county that still votes Democratic and not due to hipsters or weed farmers.

CO: Tallest mountain in state and I assume ski county

MN:  Iron Range,Whitest county in the nation that Biden and Hillary won. Has voted straight Democrat since 1936 although the previous 2 wins have been quite narrow. Very Scandanivan and of course WWC.
MT: Mix of WWC areas with a few touristy areas and a more integrated reservation making the county 23% Native. Generally has followed the state as a whole politically from what I can see. Obama did win it in 08 but has voted within 5 points of the state for all recent elections.

OH: WWC Cleveland suburbia/exurbia from what I can see. Had strong R trends like most of NE Ohio.

OR: Rural Eastern Oregon county with very low population, very Republican of course.

SD: Rural Eastern County, voted narrowly for Obama in 08 but has trended hard right since.

So to BRTD, the most pro Biden County is Lake County IL.  The longest D streak is Lake County MN. Lake County TN has probably the most times voting Democrat but it is now a very R County.

Lake County CA is an underrated gem. Great outdoor recreation, beautiful scenery, and interesting people.

Lots of opportunities to die in a forest fire.

I do agree it's pretty, though. I voted for Lake County, IL as I'd probably be happiest living there, but Lake County, CA is competitive.

CO: Tallest mountain in state and I assume ski county

Lake County, CO isn't a ski county. There are no ski resorts there. The population is mostly in Leadville, which as the name suggests is an old mining town (mainly silver mining). It is fairly scenic nowadays and the economy does depend a fair amount on tourism; still, it's not at all like the ski counties to the north and west. A quick look at home prices on Zillow in Leadville compared to Aspen or Vail will tell a lot of that story. Mostly WWC and not too dissimilar from Butte, Montana.

Ah yeah checked it out more, Biden did do better than Clinton but worse than Obama and Bill Clinton by margin and even Dukakis. It also has a high hispanic population FYI.
