Portland, Oregon
According to my precinct breakdowns:
Clackamas 68% of county is metro with the remaining 32% rural, small town, or exurban on large plots.
Metro ( 58-40 Obama)
Rural, small town, exurban rural (51-46 McCain)
Washington 92% of county is metro... with a large chunk of unincorporated regions.
Metro (61-37 Obama)
Non Urban (52-45 McCain)
This includes landslide victories for Obama in many of the wealthiest suburban communities in the state! This is a major change for the Democratic Party in Oregon and his coattails in metro-Portland (even though Smith won many key wealthy suburban communities) helped Merkley eke out a narrow win here.
Note that I am not including areas of Multnomah county since the overwhelming majority of the county is the city of Portland.... I can always post Gresham percentages, but I think that this would not fit any standard of "suburban" in the traditional sense.
