Ontario County, NY has a good mix of suburbs, exurbs, small towns, and rural areas. The northwestern part of the county is suburban Rochester. Towns up here often have median household incomes over 90k and nearly double the national college graduation rate for people over 25. The further away you get from Rochester or the Finger Lakes it becomes more conservative, less educated, and WWC. The towns of Canandaigua and Geneva are quite liberal, and are the sorts of places I could imagine some wealthy people originally from places like Syracuse, Rochester, and Buffalo who now spend the winter in places like Florida or Arizona could live in the summer. It is one of the few Upstate counties that are more educated and wealthier compared to the nation as whole. It is around 90% white. In 1996, it voted for Clinton by 4.6, in 2000 it voted for Bush by 9, and then for Bush again in 2004 by 13.7 points. In 2008, McCain won the county by a mere 68 votes (0.1%). Romney won the county in 2012 by 733 votes (1.5%). Trump won the county by 7.3% (3,796 votes) in 2016, however he only won it by 33 votes (0.06%). So, do you think it will revert back to its Republican past, or remain a swing county, or be a swing county for a few election cycles and then become a blue county, or will it vote Democrat in the 2024 presidential election and not look back for a few decades.
