We\u2019ve chosen to rank zip codes by donor counts instead of dollar amounts, as we feel this better represents how many people support each candidate.<\/strong><\/p>\nHere are just a few Boston area Zip Codes Where Hillary is Untouchable<\/strong><\/p>\n\n02138 (Harvard – Cambridge)<\/strong> \u2013 885 donors to Trump\u2019s 9 \u2013 98.3% donor share<\/li>\n02118 (South End – Boston)<\/strong> \u2013 431 donors to Trump\u2019s 6 \u2013 98.2% donor share<\/li>\n02130 (Jamaica Plain)<\/strong> \u2013 575 donors to Trump\u2019s 10 \u2013 97.6% donor share<\/li>\n02140 (North Cambridge)<\/strong> \u2013 362 donors to Trump\u2019s 4 \u2013 97.6% donor share<\/li>\n02460 (Newtonville) <\/strong>\u2013 149 to Trump\u2019s 4 \u2013 97.3% of donors<\/li>\n02446 (Brookline)<\/strong> \u2013 505 donors to Trump\u2019s 13 \u2013 97.1% donor share<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nMost of Trump\u2019s support came from outside the Greater Boston Area<\/i>, but there were a few places near the city where he had support. Plymouth (02360) had the most donors to Trump<\/strong>, at 49, but he was still outnumbered by Clinton\u2019s 106 donors there.<\/p>\nDonald Leads in These Boston area Zip Codes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n01826 (Dracut)<\/strong> \u2013 35 donors to Clinton\u2019s 13 \u2013 72.9% Donor Share<\/li>\n01906 (Saugus)<\/strong> \u2013 36 donors to Clinton\u2019s 19 \u2013 4% of donors<\/li>\n02341 (Hanson)<\/strong> \u2013 12 donors to Clinton\u2019s 7 \u2013 63.2% donor share<\/li>\n02191 (North Weymouth)<\/strong> \u2013 9 donors to Clinton\u2019s 5 \u2013 60% donor share<\/li>\n02359 (Pembroke)<\/strong>\u2013 17 donors to Clinton\u2019s 12 \u2013 58.6% donor share<\/li>\n01876 (Tewksbury)<\/strong>\u2013 35 donors to Clinton\u2019s 26 \u2013 55.5% donor share<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nWhat is a \u201cunique donor\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\nTo calculate unique donors, we combed through 6.4 million donations, looking at the names, dates, and zip codes. We removed common prefixes (Dr., Mr., Mrs, Ms,) that are often added accidentally or inconsistently across forms, and shortened 9-digit zip codes to 5 digits, since some candidates weren\u2019t collecting the longer version, and many people don\u2019t know theirs. People that have changed their names or moved in between donations could artificially inflate these numbers. After grouping donations\u00a0from the same name and zip code together, we found there were just over 1.4 million unique donors between all candidates.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
We at RentHop recognize that this is just one take on the current political climate, and it may under or over-represent some demographics. We believe in the power of knowledge and the transparency of open data to allow voters and all people to make informed decisions. We hope the consequence of this election is not overlooked, and no winner is assumed until every vote, including yours, is counted.<\/strong><\/p>\n \n <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With just a week to go in this election cycle the only thing left to do is vote (seriously, get out and vote!).
