Per Square Mile
points out the population density voting pattern:
There are lots of reasons why the 2012 presidential election broke
the way it did, but one that’s not often reported—but particularly
germane to Per Square Mile—is the divide between cities and the country.
I’ve been thinking for a while now about this split as a driving force
behind the polarization of U.S. politics, and I know I’m not alone. (On
election night, Adam Rogers tweeted as much.)
But I was curious. Can we actually see the divide between cities and
the country in the electoral map? In short, yes, but I’ll let the maps
to the rest of the talking.
I agree. Population density goes a long way toward predicting election outcomes.
