Here's How Many West Villagers Voted For Trump In 2020 Vs. 2016

WEST VILLAGE, NY — Curious about how many people in the West Village voted for President Donald Trump in 2020 compared to 2016?

Well, you're in luck.

The New York Times recently published "An Extremely Detailed Map of the 2020 Election," which currently has voting data from 1,922 of 3,143 U.S. counties in 42 states representing 64 percent of all votes cast in the 2016 and 2020 elections.

The West Village was relatively split in the number of precincts that saw an increase in residents voting for the Democratic or Republican Party in 2020.

For example, three of the main voter precincts in the West Village, from West Street to Charles Street between 10th Street and Bank Street, saw their number of Trump votes jump slightly in 2020 compared to 2016.

However, most of the neighborhood's southern part saw increases in the number of Democratic votes in 2020 compared to 2016.

The West Village voting precincts each had between 600 and 900 voters.

None of the West Village precincts saw a jump of more than 5 percent for either party in 2020 compared to 2016.

Here's how the New York Times explained how it created the voting precinct boundaries.

"Where possible, we used official precinct boundaries provided by the states or counties, but in most cases these were not available and we generated boundaries ourselves, using L2 voter-file points to guess the precinct for each census block group; this results in generally accurate precinct boundaries, but can be rough in no- or very-low-population places like business parks or uninhabited rural land," creators of the interactive map wrote.

While more people in some West Village areas voted for Trump in 2020 than they did in 2016, President Joe Biden still easily won every single precinct in the neighborhood.
