1 Are Republicans Sprawlers and Democrats New Urbanists? Comparing 83 Sprawling Regions with the 2004 Presidential Vote Stephen L. Sperry Associate Professor Clemson University College of Architecture, Arts and Humanities Department of Planning and Landscape Architecture Clemson, South Carolina, USA
2 Introduction Show a General Method for Constructing Density- Equalizing Vote Display Examine the Relationship Between Sprawl Development and the Election Winner by County and Sprawl Region USDA urban/rural codes Compared the 83 most sprawling regions As defined by Measuring Sprawl and Its Impact Quantitative Analysis of How Population Relates to Political Ties 2
3 Media and Academic Response to the Election Before 2000 Rarely Heard the Terms Blue States or Red States Started with the 2000 election Used over 2500 times in the media in 2003 (Numberg, 2005) Became a standard in today s reporting Media Wants to Typecast or Use Simple Explanations Compartmentalize the analysis Academics Used Stereotype Analysis Republicans are sprawlers or The Republican party s base is primarily exurbia or rural 3
4 Characteristics of Sprawl Unlimited Outward Expansion of Development Low Density Residential and Commercial Settlements Widespread Strip Commercial Development Leapfrogging Development Dominance of the Private Automobiles for Transportation Source: Robert Burchell, The Costs of Sprawl-Revisited. Transportation Cooperative Research Program Report 39, Washington, D.C.: National Academy Press. 4
5 New Urbanism New Urbanism Respects Traditional Urban Form and Is Defined by Principles Opposite of Sprawl: Denser development, walkable neighborhoods, mixed land use, community involvement and alternative transportation 5
6 So Where Were the Votes? Los Angeles County Was the Largest Concentration of Bush Votes with 954,764 votes All the surrounding counties went to Bush Cook County was Bush s second highest concentration with 580,553 votes Kerry received over 700,000 more votes in each county Kerry Lost Dallas by Less Than 10,000 votes All the surrounding counties went for Bush In Houston Kerry received over 470,000 votes for his 6 th largest total Came within 100,000 votes of Bush Are We Politically Segregated? 6
7 Election Maps The Sea of Red The Typical Election Chloropleth Map Does Not Reflect True Voting Patterns States are unequal in area Gives a false impression of Bush s vote distributions Over 60% of the states 53% of the electoral vote 51% of the popular vote So What Is the Best Map to Show the Voting Distribution? Source: Source: the Associated Press, ESRI Inc. USATODAY analysis by Paul Overberg Source Robert Vanderbi, Princeton University 7
8 Issues with the Color Ramps and Densities Solid Colors Do Not Reflect Vote Distribution in a County Shades of Purple Are Difficult To Read Warm and Cool Grays Are Easier to Understand Closer to the center the color ramp are shades of gray Warm gray for Bush Cool gray for Kerry How Can We Show Where the People Are? Clark County population verses county size 8

11 Population and Votes Merged Population Density by Census Tracts with Bush s Voting Percentage Shows where the concentrations of the voters actually occurred Classification Centers on Base Data of Less Than two People per Square Mile Highest population centers is approximately 9,000 for Bush and 90,000 for Kerry The Resulting Map Shows Spatially Accurate Voting Density 11

13 Sprawl Analysis The Vote s Spatial Distribution Between 2000 and 2004, There Was a Net Shift of Nearly 4 Million Votes for Bush (USA Today, 2004) Used the Rural-Urban Continuum Codes Developed by Calvin Beale of the USDA's Economic Research Service (USDA, 2003) A classification scheme that categorizes metropolitan counties by size Non-metropolitan counties classified by degree of urbanization and proximity to metro areas Also Compared the Vote in Ewing s et al Top 83 Sprawling Regions (Ewing, 2003) 13

16 Voting Comparison The Top Three Categories Accounted for 82% of the Nation Vote Bush received 79% and Kerry got 85% of their total votes Kerry had nearly a 600,000 vote margin Except in the most urban category, Bush won the other eight codes His vote margin percentage increased as a category became more rural from 46.5% to 62.8% The Republican Concentration Is in the Urban Areas of Less Than One Million People Accounted for 79% of Bush s vote margin Bush Received Nearly 33% of his net Vote Gain From the Mediumsized Metro Areas and Counties in the Metro Area with Less Than 250,000 Bush received over 3,500,000 more votes than Kerry. Except for the Most Urban Concentration, Both Candidate's Vote Percentage Were With 2 % of Each Other Showing that both candidates can attract votes in every urban-rural codes 16
17 Measuring Sprawl and Its Impacts (Ewing, 2003) Investigated 22 Measures Sprawl Index Was Defined by Four Factors: Residential density; Neighborhood mix of homes, jobs, and services; Strength of centers, such as business districts; and Accessibility by the street network. The Study Was Limited to 83 Regions Original 101 regions Because of metro comparability for the four factors Missing Charlotte, NC; Nashville, TN; Louisville, KY and Richmond, VA 17

26 Where are the Votes? Mapped Each Party s Vote Density Separately The seven vote density classes were based on quantile breaks of the Republican vote and were rounded The Democratic vote used the same class breaks The difference is that the density range is higher in the last Democratic class 139,552 verses 49,287 The Vote Distributions Are Similar Between the Parties The Republicans spread out further from the urban cores then Democrats The Exception Is the Southern Republican Concentration of Votes Expanding From the Appalachian Mountain Region With its small cities and expanding to the more metropolitan areas of North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama. 26

31 Vote Concentrations Shades of Purple As Robert Vanderbi Says We Are Shades of Purple Urban Centers Are the Primarily Democratic Base However there are significant Republican concentrations Smaller Cities and Suburban Centers Are the Republican Base There are significant Democratic concentrations The Exurban Fringe Are Ripe Republican Camps New growth areas The exception is in the Northeast 31

33 Conclusion Are Republican Sprawlers? The Answer is Yes and No Exurbia, the fringe and less dense counties of large metropolitan areas, contributed 8% of Bush's vote Remember how many votes he received in Los Angeles and Chicago Are Democrats New Urbanists? The Answer is the Same The Democratic concentration is in the older and most urban areas They are within one to two percentage points of the Republicans distribution in the other categories Bush's Victory Was Attributable to Modest, but Broadbased Gains Across Every Region of The Country Including the cities Comparing the Republican and Democratic Vote Density The Country Is Not Polarized Into Two Camps 33
