Wainwright County

Upland textiles area with a growing amount of commuters and retirees. Mostly small towns but with a large-ish suburban area (mostly middle class to upper middle class) in the northeast of the county. Large Evangelical population. Traditionally a modestly affluent area.

Mix of ancestral Democrats and incoming Republicans, but more competitive on the local level than on statewide/national level, where it votes strongly Republican.

Locally Democratic, state/nationally exactly the type of area the Dems have lost since the late 1960s although still capable of voting for the right Democratic candidates.

Ancestrally Republican area, may still be so on local level, but on state/national levels increasingly voting Democratic.

Definitely Republican on local levels. I'd need more information on religious/cultural stats there to determine if they're strongly Republican or merely mostly Republican. Wink

Your Mileage May Vary. Cheesy

Worstedopolis

At the heart of a textiles producing region, Worstedopolis has suffered severely from the decline of that industry and is now one of the poorest cities in the nation.
The city has a large minority population in parts (especially in the west) and there's been tension between it and the white majority, although things appear to have cooled down in the past year or so. The city has a large Evangelical population (especially towards the south) and unions are strong.

Democratic, at all levels, although I bet much closer at the national/state levels than at the local level.

Probably Republican, fairly strongly, although not for everything - local races are probably much closer. This kinda reminds me of the West Side of Albuquerque, which is a swing area. Smiley
