Rich, White parts of interior Memphis.  What's funny about that?  Isn't that to be expected?

I find the distribution of rich, white people in Memphis to be funny.

Rich, White parts of interior Memphis.  What's funny about that?  Isn't that to be expected?

What's really funny is that it overlaps almost perfectly with Sanders' support.

Those are the only precincts with non-negligible numbers of white voters casting Democratic primary ballots.

The white areas in memphis have 40-80K in income.

Meanwhile the white areas above 80K and further from memphis's core, Clinton's numbers rebounds to 60-70%. But doesn't reach the 80%+ found in black neighborhoods.



Perhaps the whites closer to memphis despite making higher income than blacks, consider themselves more-so "working class whites" who other than college kids and those are the other key base for sanders.

And Bleeding heart conservative suggests, most higher median income whites vote GOP so its strange but not inconceivable that some 30%-50% of whites registered as democrat who live in higher income areas like sanders. Imagine the higher income whites if they somehow had their registration changed from GOP to Dem the support for sanders amongst white dems in those areas would probably drop when those voters vote hillary out of inconvenience.

Nashville-Davidson County:
Republicans - 1st & 2nd place


Democrats:

The Sanders portion in the middle under "west end" is Vanderbilt university (white in GOP second place map.) The southwest corner going for Bernie I find curious- though pretty rural so hippies- went for Cruz too.

The part above Cumberland River with "Eastland" is a very progressive part of town, no surprise. Bernie's swath to the west, above Charlotte, is heavily working class- near what used to be Ford glass plant- lots of streets named after Ford cars. The dark red above heavily African American.

The Trump- Rubio divide seems very class based, not surprisingly.

In Tennessee we don't register by party; we are asked which primary we wish to vote in when we arrive.

Again, Sander's highest support is amongst demographically white working class neighborhoods.

Theres a lot to assume from this but in Memphis and Nashville, Trump's highest support correlates with whites living in Black majority neighborhoods.  I keep seeing this pattern all over again, Trump's highest support is whites who live in black belt counties in Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia.
