Please include racial makeup, percent of the population over 25 that graduates from college, how religious it is, and what religion is the most popular, median household income, if your city is urban, an urban-suburban mix dense suburban, sparse suburban, suburban-rural mix, or rural, and dominant industries. Please guess on the previous poster’s fictional city.

Population: 113,295 (increasing faster than the national average)
Racial Demographics: 79% White, 6% Hispanic, 2% Black, 12% Asian, 1% Native American
Religiousness: Not super religious, majority Protestant
Density: Dense suburban
Median Household Income: $86, 262
Dominant Industries: Logging, Education, and Healthcare
College graduation rate (over 25 y/o population): 46%

Given above average educational attainment, population density, and lack of religiosity, I am going to say Biden +10-15; the lack of racial diversity and presence of the logging industry suggests a healthy Republican base which is why I wouldn't expect a larger margin. This city has trended D / is continuing to do so, and probably went for Romney in 2012, or Obama by a narrower margin.
Thanks. Please feel free to create a fictional city of your own.

Ah, sorry!

Population: ~80K (stagnant)
Racial Demographics: 42% White, 40% Hispanic, 15% Black, 3% Other
Religiousness: Below average religiosity; plurality Catholic but far short of a majority
Density: Urban, medium density
Median Household Income: $28,000
Dominant Industries: Healthcare, Manufacturing
College graduation rate (over 25 y/o population): 10%
Probably was about Clinton + 40 in 2016, but Biden + 15 this year, because of working class Hispanic trends

Population: 2,108
Racial Demographics: 98% white
Religiousness: Church attendance is very much below the national average
Density: Rural
Median Household Income: $47,800
Dominant Industries: Agriculture, Resort, Fishing
College graduation rate (over 25 y/o population): 100%

This is not a fictional city and all these stats are real. I'll reveal what it is after somebody guesses.
Probably about Trump + 20 in 2016 and Trump + 5-10 in 2020, because education trends and the resort thing

Probably about Trump + 20 in 2016 and Trump + 5-10 in 2020, because education trends and the resort thing, though it being rural is what keeps it red. Probably voted for Romney by about 25-30.

The city that is the setting of the"Fairly Oddparents". It is fairly suburban and potentially college-educated. However, Butch Hartman, the show's creator, is a fundamentalist Evangelical. How would it vote in previous election?
Probably went for Biden by under 10, but went for Trump in 2016, and was a solid GOP area except for Southern Democrats.

I'm guessing this is in the San Gabriel Valley (Metro LA) as opposed to San Mateo County (SF Bay Area). Possibly Monterrey Park? Median household income is way too low to be Arcadia or San Marino.
Actually I did a little tricky and picked Richmond, BC. But good guess!

That would explain the absence of people with ancestry from Sub-Saharan Africa and/or Spanish-speaking Latin America. It would also explain the relatively low median household income (in USD) for the percentage of college grads.

The above municipality has historically voted D by 20-30% margins, but went for Biden by over 65% in 2020.



Population: 400,000

Density: 2000 people per km2 (inner suburbs)

Racial/ethnic demographics: 25% South Asian, 30% East/Southeast Asian, 30% Sub-Saharan African (mostly from the Caribbean), 10% multiracial, 4% Latin American, 1% Other

Religious demographics: 20% Christian (mostly Roman Catholic), 25% Muslim, 1% Other Abrahamic, 24% Hindu + Buddhist, 13% Spiritual/Other, 2% Atheist, 15% Agnostic or Unaffiliated.

Median Household Income (in 2021 USD): $69,000

Total Fertility rate: 2.3 children/woman

Major industries: manufacturing, chemical refining, hi-tech, hydroponics, tourism, education, healhcare, night markets

% of over 25 population with bachelors or higher: 31%

Foreign-born percentage: 10%
Probably about 85-15 Democrat.

2000: Bush + 10
2004: Bush + 18
2008: Obama + 1
2012: Romney + 5
2016: Trump + 31

Johnston, R.I. Trump +9 (in 2020), Trump +14 (in 2016), Obama +16 (in 2012)

For my city:
Population: 6,200
Demographics: 58% White, 19% Latino, 14% Black, 6% Asian, 3% mixed-race, 1% Indian
Median household income: $67,521
Percentage with college degree (25 and older): 42%
Density: 283/sq mi
Dominant industries: Real Estate, Business Services, State/Local Government
Religion: 41% weekly attendance, plurality Protestant
TFR: 1.7
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

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.

Palmwood

Population: 638,035 (+27% from 2010)
Racial Demographics: 42% White, 38% Hispanic, 6% Black, 10% Asian (9% South Asian), 0% Native American
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

Population: 187,441 (-9% from 2010)
Racial Demographics: 54% White, 17% Hispanic, 28% Black, 1% Asian, 0% Native American
Religiousness: Majority Protestant
Density: 2,203 per sq/mi
Median Household Income: $36,102
Dominant Industries: Industry (Natural gas), Manufacturing, Healthcare services
College graduation rate (over 25 y/o population): 14% (lower than state average)


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.
Likely Democratic

Population: 200,509 (+71.1% since 2010)
Density: 3,296/sq. mi
Demographics: 57% White, 21% Asian, 11% Hispanic, 8% Black
Median Household Income: $127k
Bachelor's+ rate: 64%
Religion: Above average church attendance, plurality Catholic
Largest Industries: Professional Services, Healthcare, and Retail

Bonus points if you can guess which state it is in

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.
That was Frisco

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: 54,605 (+3.87% from 2010)
Density: 972/sq mi
Demographics: 84% white, 11% black, 4% hispanic, 1% asian
Median household income: $75,500
Bachelor attainment rate: 46%
Post-grad attainment rate: 12%
Religion: 87% Christian (majority Episcopalian, some Baptists and Catholics), 3% irreligious, 3% Jewish, 2% Muslim, 2% Hindu
Largest industries: Contemporary: Retail, services, tourism, fishing, farming. Historical: logging, mining, manufacturing

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
Demographics: 94% White, 2% Hispanic, 2% Black, 2% Asian
Median Household Income: $48k
Bachelor's+ rate: 28%
Largest Industries: Healthcare, Retail, and Education
Religion: Church attendance rates below average, mostly Catholic

My city was sorta a McCain-Romney-Clinton-Biden town. From 2010 to 2020, it went from majority white to majority black, became richer and more educated.

I was thinking something like
2004: Bush + 11
2008: McCain +6
2012: Romney +5
2016: Clinton +8
2020: Biden +12

SKIP

This city is real

Median Household Income: $128k
Bachelor's+ rate: 49%
Largest Industries: Healthcare, Retail, and Professional Services
Religion: Church attendance rates roughly at the national average, mostly Catholic

Bonus points if you can guess how it has trended in recent years, as well as where it is
