I'm already aware of South Brooklyn

Do you mean Southern Brooklyn?  South Brooklyn is about 90%+ Democrat fairly consistently.  Southern Brooklyn has some GOP enclaves however.   

In NYC, GOP areas tends to be populated by fundamentalist Jews or middle class Italians.

Most of the cities Miles mentioned (as well as many high populated GOP areas) aren't really urban. There's also the Cuban areas in/near Miami. IIRC, a McCain CD can be drawn within Philly, not sure where else this can be done with being entirely in a urban area.

McCain CD in Philadelphia? Either you have a very broad view of Philadelphia, or a very small CD (as in, I don't know, 100,000 people, may be 150,000). Philadelphia without suburbs is well over 80% Dem - which exactly are the areas you'd include?

I was mistaken. I must have been thinking of a state House district that a member had drawn. It makes sense now that an entirely Philly McCain CD would be impossible. I'm pretty sure however that a McCain CD can be drawn in (or mainly in) Houston, Dallas, and/or San Antonio, any ideas where else?

Phoenix (the northern part of Phoenix).

It seems kind of unfair to compare city whose borders capture a large part of the metro area to a city with a ton of small independent suburbs.  Some cities basically have Republicans suburbs within their city limits. 

I think it would be more interesting to see the most GOP areas with a certain population density.
