Who Votes the Most in New York? West Siders, Older People and College Grads

New York City is the greatest city in the world, but we are a not-so-great city for voting.

The five boroughs rank 49th for turnout among big U.S. cities, according to a report published in December of last year from UC San Diego. So, among that sea of non-voters — who does come to the polls?

A reader of THE CITY asked us just that: With turnout low, who are the reliable voting blocs? And who never comes to the polls?

We have a good snapshot of this from the city’s Campaign Finance Board, which releases extensive data after every election on the neighborhoods across the city with the highest (and lowest) voter turnout.
