Does Forest Hills still have a lot of affluent liberal Jews, or is that perception about 40 years out of date?

By neighborhood:

Howard Beach is a conservative enclave. Trump dominated there. Wow. I think one of my friends live there. It's a Giuliani/Trump area for sure. However, they are represented by a Democrat in the State Senate and Congressional level.

Very Italian.  Looks like Trump won 80%+ of the GOP vote in Italian areas.

[King of Kensington]

If anything the "affluent liberal Jewish" demographic may be more centered in Manhattan than it was in the John Lindsay era, when the Forest Hills and Riverdale outposts would have been larger.

[King of Kensington]

Is there any detectable difference between African American and Caribbean voters?  Or are these two communities too integrated into each other at the neighborhood level to really tell?

My guess is probably not: NYC blacks don't seem to vote differently than those in Chicago, Detroit or Cleveland, even if they're as likely if not more likely to trace their ancestry to the Caribbean than the US South.

Interesting how Bernie did so well in Sunset Park.  Low Asian registration?

[King of Kensington]

Hipsters don't like in Williamsburg anymore, it's mostly ad execs and bankers who pretend to be hipsters.

Yeah Williamsburg is so 2006 or whatever. 

But more seriously, what exactly distinguishes an "authentic" hipster from the poseurs? 

[King of Kensington]

The East Village was basically an even split (while Hillary dominated the rest of Manhattan).

[King of Kensington]

I take it western Queens has a lot of "hipsters" now too - i.e. Astoria, LIC, Jackson Heights etc.

[King of Kensington]

Astoria is white working class but a significant amount of muslim americans which helped Bernie since he also got 70%+ of the muslim vote in Michigan.

So Bernie's winning coalition in Astoria and Steinway includes young voters, Pro-trump democrats, muslim americans who make up close to 1/4th of the population in those two areas and the greek community which probably hopes that Bernie would be more conciliatory towards Greece by siding with them in their debt crisis dispute with the EU.

Jackson Heights is mainly hispanic.

LIC is a weird mix of both hispters, and working class whites and hispanics on the lower side which went for Hillary.

Right, didn't mean to suggest they were hipster or hipster-turned-yuppie dominated, but that they are certainly a presence in western Queens.

Jackson Heights is famously diverse, though Frederick Wiseman's doc about it did suggest early gentrification is occurring.

Astoria is about 40% college educated and one of the hottest real estate markets in the city, so surely it's undergoing gentrification.

Obviously all these area contain significant immigrant and working class populations too.

[King of Kensington]

Hipsters don't like in Williamsburg anymore, it's mostly ad execs and bankers who pretend to be hipsters.

Mostly?  It's also 36% Jewish, 80% of whom are Orthodox.

[King of Kensington]

Yes, there are gentrifying areas with high levels of "cultural capital" that aren't all that high income (Bernie) and more established, high income gentrified areas (Hillary).

[King of Kensington]

Surprised that Sanders got more votes in Bensonhurst/Dyker Heights/Bath Beach than Trump. 

[King of Kensington]

Most Greeks would be pretty far removed from Greece. I doubt monetary policy toward it is a huge issue. They're probably just voting Sanders because otherwise they fit the demographic for him well.

Well if there's anywhere Greece is a ballot box issue, it's Astoria.
