Left In Lowell

Some of you may know that Jack is a dull boy, unless he has data. Less of you may know that Chris Hazel is a dataphile extraordinaire.

When you take public records and mix vigorously with the likes of us, you get? Voila!

Now, I’m not giving away all of our tradecraft, but suffice to say we can figure out where the fish are. Here is some more “data.”

This is fun! And, informative. :v)

This tells us that of a city of 106,000, only 19,493 have ever voted in a city election. Of them, only 7,500 have voted in 4 or 5 of the last 5 city elections. And they tend not to be young. :v(
If you use the data, you can see what neighborhoods rock the vote. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

PS. This analysis uses the Nov.2010 voter file. If you don’t know what that means, you are in a world of hurt.
Screenshots have been altered to protect voter privacy. We have fun, responsibly.

This is a quick FYI post. I’d say the 5th Congressional is in the “Goldilocks Zone.” You?
