Ohio by precinct and municipality

[mileslunn]

Ohio now has every precinct and even gives breakdown by municipality https://www.ohiosos.gov/elections/election-results-and-data/2020/ .  Pretty good and wish all states did this.  Feel free to check out and comment on anything interesting.  I know California gives results by municipality, but do any other states do this or do you have dig each one up individually?

New Jersey is pretty easy to find too.  And yes you are right New England states do, in fact they do by that only.  Easier to do in Eastern US than South and West as in latter two you have a lot of unincorporated areas.  Could be wrong, but aren't a lot unincorporated as people want to pay lower property taxes and so its a way to avoid paying municipal property taxes and only have to pay for state and county as I believe in South and West property taxes are quite high.

In Cuyahoga County, Trump won following:

Brecksville (almost semi-rural on south end)
Broadview Heights (also south end, WWC)
Brook Park (south end, WWC)
Highland Heights (southeast end)
Independence (south end WWC)
Middleburg Heights (south end WWC)
North Royalton (south end WWC)
Parma (south end WWC)
Seven Hills (south end WWC)
Strongsville (south end WWC)
Brooklyn Heights (south end WWC)
Hunting Valley (South end largely rural)
Olmsted Township (West end more affluent only one Trump held)
Gates Hills (southeast, semi-rural)
Valley View (south end semi-rural)
Walton Hills (south end semi-rural)
Cuyahoga Heights (south end WWC)

Be interested in how it went in 2012.  My understanding is Romney won much of West end which went for Biden, but much of south end which went for Trump voted for Obama.  In fact I would venture to guess very few municipalities in Cuyahoga County have voted GOP in all of last four elections.  Most that went for Romney have swung Democrat, while most current GOP went for Obama

Noticed south side of Franklin County went heavily for Trump, while Biden dominated north side, is there a reason for this?  I am guessing south end is more white working class while north end more upper middle class college educated types?  Would that be correct?

Looks like west parts of Hamilton county went massively Trump, somewhere in the 70s which is unusually high for suburban areas.  Yes they are semi-rural but still seems rather high, any reason why?

White flight of german catholics from Cinci, but yes they are incredibly Republican for such an area. Hamilton is 4 parts
First is Cinci
2nd is diversifying burbs in the north
3rd is White college burbs in the east.
Last is the exurbs in the west.

Even in southern cities like Atlanta and Dallas, you only get GOP getting those kind of numbers on the very periphery of the metro area, not any suburbs anywhere near city.  Even the heavily white suburbs in Atlanta that are close to city either voted for Biden or at best just barely for Trump, not 70% for Trump.  Trump did get that in the more far flung ones which are more exurban than suburban.

It seems in some blue collar areas like Mahoning, Trumbull, Ashtabula and other communities in eastern part and Lake Erie shores saw over a 20% swing?  Is this a trend that was inevitable, was Obama better suited than Biden or Clinton?  Or were McCain and Romney bad fits for Ohio while Trump a better fit?

The west-end Hamilton County suburbs have always voted like that.

True, but Collin and Denton Counties Texas used to vote like that but were closer this time.  WOW counties in Wisconsin too but tightened.  Or outerlying suburban counties of Atlanta like Cherokee and Forsyth, but also tightened, thus always went that way doesn't necessarily mean will stay as suburbs seemed to be where Biden saw biggest shift in his favor overall.
