Sounds like a Sun Belt exurb, so it probably went strongly for Trump twice, but it has trended left by a not-so-insignificant amount in the Trump era

This is a real city:
Population: 89,877 (+1.9% since 2010)
Demographics: 82% White, 12% Black, 2% Hispanic, 2% Asian
Density: 2,956/sq. mi
Median Household Income: $54k
Bachelor's+ rate: 23%
Religion: Church attendance somewhat below average, plurality Protestant
Dominant Industries: Healthcare, Retail, Manufacturing

Bonus points if you can guess which state it is in, and/or how it has trended in recent cycles

Also, how did you find the church attendance rates for an individual city?

Hmm, it's an extremely white city, meagerly protestant, that isn't growing very fast and isn't very wealthy. I'm gonna say Obama '08 +8, Romney +0.5, Trump '16 +9, Trump '20 +23.

Palmwood is a fictional city and anchor of the metro area, West Palmwood-Friar Cliffs is a major suburb, while Bordeaux Township is an exurb.

Religiousness: Plurality Catholic
Density: 10,203 per sq/mi
Median Household Income: $87,304
Dominant Industries: Services, Finance, Higher Education, Medicine, Tourism
College graduation rate (over 25 y/o population): 39% (higher than state average)

West Palmwood-Friar Cliffs

Population: 201,564 (+30% from 2010)
Racial Demographics: 49% White, 28% Hispanic, 17% Black, 4% Asian, 1% Native American
Religiousness: Plurality Protestant
Density: 4,203 per sq/mi
Median Household Income: $50,304
Dominant Industries: Services, Retail, Hospitality
College graduation rate (over 25 y/o population): 18% (slightly higher than state average)

Bordeaux Township

Palmwood would be very Democratic. West Palmwood-Friar Cliffs would still be Democrat but would be closer than Palmwood. Bordeaux Township would be solidly Republican. The city I gave was Cheektowaga, NY which was an Obama-Trump-Biden city

Is this Rajneeshpuram? My guess would be a tendency towards Democrats, but with a tendency to vote for left-leaning third parties (including some weird ones) and with a strong Trump vote, particularly in 2020. I'm also not sure of how extensive social control was there so it may be that it would vote in a very monolithic way.

Population: 8,000
Demographics: 60% White (overwhelmingly Italian), 33% Asian (overwhelmingly Indian and mostly Gujarati), 3% Latino, 3% Black, 1% Other/Mixed.
MHI: 40,000$
Education: 30% Bachelor Degree
Density: 1,000 per square mile, but this is a bit of a misnomer as most of the land area is uninhabited industrial areas/the city's airport. Inhabited areas are dense inner suburbs.
Religion: 60% Catholic, 25% Hindu, 5% Protestant, 2% Muslim, 8% no religion/other
Dominant Industries: Industry (shipping and logistics), Hospitality
Other notes: Is much less racially integrated than it appears, as the Indian and Italian neighborhoods are on opposite sides of the industrial/airport area.

This is not a real city but is intended to be mashup of two nearby and rather different towns.

First two numbers mean it's a Sunbelt suburb. Only places that could qualify with that population are in CA, AZ, and TX. High income and Asian population means its either in the Bay Area or in the Houston/Dallas suburbs. High Black population means it cannot be in the Bay Area since no cities of that size except maybe Oakland or Hayward can qualify, both of which don't have that high an income. In the Houston suburbs could be in Fort Bend County or Pearland in Brazoria, and in Dallas must be in Northern Dallas, Collin, or Denton County. That leaves a few major contenders being Sugar Land, Pearland, Richardson, Plano, McKinney, Allen, and Frisco. Sugar Land and Pearland I believe are not nearly as large as those Dallas suburbs, so I'm going to narrow it down to the DFW cities. Plano didn't grow that much, and I'd wager Richardson didn't either, so that leaves McKinney, Allen, and Frisco. From what I remember, Allen is closer to 100k than 200k so that leaves it out of the running. Between Frisco and McKinney, I believe Frisco is more educated and affluent so I'll pick that as the final answer. So Frisco, TX is the answer which I believe went for Trump by about 2 last year, which was a major swing from 2016 and especially Romney's numbers.

I'm guessing it's a McCain +8, Romney +9, Clinton +1, Biden +7 town. The high income, high college degree attainment rate, and healthcare industry makes me think dem. But the the lowish density and population and near universal whiteness of the town makes me think GOP.

Here's mine, a fictional city:

Name: Lorraine Township

Population: 7,401 (+14.4% since 2010)
Density: 456/sq. mi
Demographics: 97% White, 1% Hispanic, 1% Native American, 0.4% Black, 0.3% Asian
Median Household Income: $108k
Bachelor's+ rate: 61%
Religion: Mostly Catholic, slightly below average church attendance
Largest Industries: Retail, Healthcare, and Construction

I'm guessing it's a McCain +8, Romney +9, Clinton +1, Biden +7 town. The high income, high college degree attainment rate, and healthcare industry makes me think dem. But the the lowish density and population and near universal whiteness of the town makes me think GOP.

Here's mine, a fictional city:

Population: 54,605 (+3.87% from 2010)
Density: 972/sq mi

My city was Sanibel, FL which went to Romney by about 12 in 2012, Trump by 6 in 2016, and it voted for Trump again by 1% in 2020.

I'd say your city is decently Democratic, though it was probably a Republican city through 2004.

This one is real

Population: 15,074 (-8.5% since 2010)
Density: 2,183/sq. mi

Median Household Income: $48k
Bachelor's+ rate: 28%
Largest Industries: Healthcare, Retail, and Education
Religion: Church attendance rates below average, mostly Catholic

Bonus points if you can guess where it is
