Cities, suburbs, exurbs, and rural areas: How they vote

[All Along The Watchtower]

Here's my analysis/breakdown  of how different environments in America vote, generally.

Cities:

Very Democratic.

College towns:

Very Democratic.

Older, inner-ring suburbs:

Somewhat less Democratic, but still Democratic, generally.

Middle-aged middle-ring suburbs:

More marginal, generally. Often lean to moderate Republican though.

Young Exurbs:

Strongly Republican.

Rural areas:

Outside of the Upper Midwest and New England, usually strongly Republican, though many Democrats don't vote there or vote Republican.

Thoughts?

Cities = yep strong dem. With very few exceptions (Jacksonville, OKC) all cities usually give dems at least 60% of the vote

College Towns = mostly democrat. But areas like College Station, Lubbock, Stilwater, Norman, Waco, Knoxville are republican

Older, Inner-Ring suburbs = yep pretty much slight dem

Middle-aged middle-ring suburbs - yeah they are usually marginal. Think of a place like DuPage County, IL.

Young Exurbs - depends what you mean by young. Do you mean age of the people or the homes. If you mean the people, then it is probably more dem leaning. If you mean the homes then you are right when you say strongly republican.

Rural Areas - unless there are minorities (think South Texas or Mississippi Delta) or Hippies (parts of rural NorCal or Vermont) then usually republican.
