Wonder what the D's and R's bare minimum win is now.

I presume that D's is Kerry + OH + NM/IA.

R's not so sure.

Using 04 as your base its a gain of 6 seats for the ones Bush won, loss of 6 for Kerry so its 292-246 instead of 286-252.

R's is Bush 04 - CO,-  NV - IA - NM + NH, which would give them 270 (
Bush 04 - CO - IA - NV, would be 271
Bush 04-  CO - NM -IA/NV would be 272

Dems would be Kerry + OH, + NV/IA  which would be 270  (NM instead of NV or IA would be 269 but with NE-02 added you would have 270
Kerry 04 + NC + CO would also be 270
Kerry 04 + VA +NM +IA/NV also 270
Kerry 04 + VA  + IA + NV would be 271
Kerry 04 + FL would be 273

Question: what's up with South Richmond Hill, in Queens? Several tracts are around 20% multiracial and every tract in the neighborhood is at least 10% or so.

Richmond Hill has a large Indo-Caribbean community (Guyanese, Trinidadians etc.), so it's likely people with South Asian/Black ancestry.

interesting that the multi-racial population in these tracts is actually decreasing though

Perhaps more people reporting as other??

I visited the area quite a bit as a kid as my grandparents lived right on Liberty Ave.

Can anyone find high (over 40%) Asian tracts outside the West Coast and the urban areas? I find one 54% outside Philly and several over 40%, up to 49%, in MontCo, MD.

Morrisville, NC has one tract which is 40% Asian, a few of the surrounding ones are 30%.  Depending on what you mean by urban, you have a 42% in southwest Charlotte (while its in the city, the area looks suburban)

Also have a 40% tracts in western Nassau (Herricks with a few surrounding tracts at 39%, and others in the 30% + range (with some more over 40% ones over the Queens border

Morrisville is due to the proximity to Research Triangle Park. Not sure about the Charlotte one.

Figured that with Morrisville.  The Charlotte one was in an area with growth of more than 170% (slightly under 700 to 1,824) with the Asian population going from approx 43 to approx 766.  I have actually driven through that area (well technically a passenger) going back and forth from the Charlotte airport and my parents home (the Billy Graham Parkway is on the northern edge of the tract)
