Project: Austrian election results by NUTS-3 regions

[Tender Branson]

I might create some maps based not on the usual districts, but rather on the NUTS-3 regions:



The red areas (urban/suburban) vs. the remaining (rural) ones.

There are 7 major urban areas in the country (ranked by population, out of 8.901 million):

2.589.000 Vienna & suburbs north+south
   596.000 Linz-Wels & suburbs
   447.000 Graz & suburbs
   369.000 Salzburg & suburbs
   312.000 Innsbruck & suburbs
   305.000 Rhein Valley
   289.000 Klagenfurt-Villach & suburbs
4.907.000 Total (55% of the total population)

Everyone knows that the urban and suburban areas voted much more for VdB in 2016 than the rural areas, but I'm interested in the exact margins in each urban area vs. the rural remaining areas and how the urban areas combined voted vs. the combined rural area.

Vienna & suburbs btw have a higher population density than any US metro other than NY-Newark:

https://www.citypopulation.de/en/usa/combmetro/

The Vienna metro has 2.6 million people on 4.600 km², that's a density of 565/km².

NY-Newark has a density of 703/km².

All other US metros are less densely populated than 565/km².

Comparable US metros in populations are:

Salt Lake City
Sacramento
Pittsburgh
San Antonio

But unlike Vienna with 4.600 km² in area, SLC has an area of 60.500 (!) km².

Sacramento 18.900, Pittsburgh 18.300 and San Antonio 21.900 km² !

Which US metro, regardless of population overall, comes closest in population density?
