So far it looks as if urbanization favors the Democrats -- because suburbanization is a form of urbanization. Suburbia needs much the same services as do big cities to make them livable: expressways, schools, sewers... and those aren't cheap. Suburbanites used to distinguish themselves from urban Democrats by voting Republican; that is over.
Areas of farming, ranching, lumbering, and resource extraction? Different story. Some might have been predominantly Democratic because of old patterns of settlement -- but that is over.
