Oklahoma City suburbs

[Anzeigenhauptmeister]

When I started another thread, I realized something odd...
Clinton won 41.18% of the vote of Oklahoma County, but - according to Jacobin American's numbers - only 37.1% of the vote of Oklahoma City. Providing his research is correct, doesn't that mean OKC's suburbs must be heavily Democratic? Isn't that very unusual for suburbs?

JA is counting a broader range of suburbs than just in Oklahoma County. Though due to the weird shape of its boundaries, I'm not sure if Oklahoma city was more pro-Clinton than Oklahoma County. https://rynerohla.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/2016-OK-Inverted.png

Oklahoma City does extend into other counties, and the OKC metro area does even more so, but that link showed the metro area results, not the center city/urban core.

You're both right.
Do you know where I can get the OKC results, maybe even split into county partitions?

I don't have for 2016, but IIRC Lephead posted for 2008, that the part of Oklahoma City that was in Oklahoma County was more Democratic than the county, but Obama still lost it.

I see. Thanks!

As a matter of fact you can get all of the precinct results for Oklahoma for all statewide races in an Excel format right here and here....

To get County Precinct maps, I would go to the website below, to save you the time and energy of having to try to locate these on individual county websites....

I haven't spent any real time crunching the numbers for Metro OKC, but if you're good with spreadsheets and coding by municipality, working through issues with split-precincts, etc, you should be able to come up with some interesting findings....

Of course, I always like to take a look, and explore demographic detail on the site below.

Good luck with the project, and looking forward to your findings!!!
