Least dense/Most rural mainly white CDs to vote for Hillary

[nclib]

By People per square mile:

Nevada 4th (Kiheun - D)      14.2
New Mexico 3rd (Luján - D)      15.4
Oregon 4th (DeFazio - D)      45.2
California 2nd (Huffman - D)      55.6
Vermont At-large (Welch - D)   67.7
Arizona 2nd (McSally - R)      91.0
Washington 6th (Kilmer - D)      98.6
Washington 8th (Reichert - R)      99.2
New Hampshire 2nd (Kuster - D)      101.6
Colorado 2nd (Polis - D)      103.8

NV-4 is not actually rural, almost 90% lives in Clark County and the rest is very sparse. NM-3 is about the same white and Hispanic. All of these except VT-AL and NH-2 are in the West. HRC only broke 60% in CA-2.

only other one I can think of is maybe ME-1 or CT-2, but both of them have decent sized cities in them

[Coolface Sock #42069]

So of all the congressional districts with a population density below that of the USA (83 per square mile), only 5 voted for Hillary Clinton.

I don't think either are that close.

No, I said mainly white. There are probably a couple other majority-minority ones like MS-2 and AL-7.

Proud to see (3) districts in the Pacific Northwest showing up on this list....

The margins vs Trump would likely have been higher, if it wasn't for a significant defection to the Left in these three districts (Bernie Write-Ins, Stein, and even Millennials voting for Johnson figuring that these were safe states and sending a protest vote).

Honestly the answer is probably VT-AL. I actually looked it up and there are no majority-rural districts in California. ME-01 has Portland which is bigger than Burlington. NH-02 has Concord and, weirdly, Nashua.

WA-06 is kinda misleading. Most of the rural area in the district is Olympic National Park.

[Figueira]

Is there even a single majority-rural district in the West?

Most dense for Trump would have to be NY-11, correct?

Are you referring to New London?  That's not very urban even by Connecticut standards.

Yeah New London and Storrs. I think the district would've gone republican if UConn wasn't in it

UCONN probably helps... it's definitely the most working class part of the state and most receptive to Trump's message.  Although it's practically in the Boston metro area so who knows.

No.

No.

It's been a while since I've lived in Connecticut, but I'm pretty sure the northeast corner of the state is like an hour from Boston.  I consider an hour or so distance to be "practically" within a metro area.

Google tells me it's an hour and a half from Storrs to Boston.

...After typing that I realized that you meant eastern Connecticut in general, not Storrs in particular. I'd still say it's a stretch to call it "practically" in the Boston metro.

[Since I'm the mad scientist proclaimed by myself]

AZ-02 has most of the population in the cities of Tucson and Sierra Vista.

how do you define metro areas?  Fairfield County is well over an hour from NYC and is definitely in the NYC metro area.  At any rate, I was conjecturing that although Eastern Connecticut doesn't have any real cities (I don't consider New London a solid/politically powerful city like Bridgeport or Hartford), it is still relatively close to liberal hot spots (New Haven to the Southwest and more particularly Boston to the Northeast) that I would think there is some spillover of progressive values and culture.

Hartford and Worcester are both closer than Boston. The NYC metro area is obviously bigger than the Boston one.
