Methodology
Higher income areas are precincts where the median household income is $78,000 or more; lower income areas are where the median household income is $40,000 or less. Areas with more college graduates are precincts where more than 40 percent of the population has a college education; areas with fewer college graduates are precincts where less than 15 percent of the population graduated college. The classification of areas as urban, rural or suburban is derived from research by Jed Kolko. Strong Biden areas are precincts where President Biden received more than 50 percent of the two-party vote in the 2020 presidential election.
