The ethnic enclaves of NYC - tons of swingy and R leaking enclaves in NYC and the political self-sorting is insane compared to basically anywhere else in the Country. Look at Kings County (Brooklyn) for probably the clearest example of this - most of the county is like 90% Biden and then you have borough park at like 90% Trump.

Spring Valley also fits into this category - hyper conservative Jews play a big role here.

Interior New England (excluding Vermont) -- You'd think this area would be much redder than it is, judging by the many Trump signs you see driving through these parts.

As a resident of non-deep blue "rural"(-ish) New England...yes, there are more Trump signs. But this is more an enthusiasm gap issue than an outnumbering issue. It's still New England - even the rural areas are largely secular, college educated, and most places are within commuting distance of a city. You've got exurban white collar workers who want a larger yard mixed in with Swamp Yankee country bumpkin types who are a bit uncomfortable with the fact that their towns aren't quite as rural as they would like or perceive them to be.

Yep this has been my expiernce too. I'd just remind people in general "rural" in the context of New England isn't really the same type of rural as you have in a place like Ohio or Texas. Most of "rural" England is still close enough to some major city to still have major influence from it.
