Urban/Suburban/Rural Counties in North Carolina


As always, grateful to political scientist Michael Bitzer for digging into the urban/suburban/rural distribution of votes in North Carolina. He's interested in testing whether the national suburban trend away from Trumpism (much discussed here since 2017) will hold true in NC. He seems to think it will.
Nearly thirty percent of NC's registered voters reside within a central city of the state, with another quarter being within the central city's county, making for 55 percent of NC voters in just 19 out of the state's 100 counties.
Another quarter of the voters reside in the 27 surrounding suburban counties, leaving barely two out of ten voters residing in state's rural counties.
