In 1995, 1 Harbeson, DE was a small, rural town with a tight-knit community. Its local politics were comprised of a small number of locally elected officials who served the community’s needs. Community members had the opportunity to attend town hall meetings and voice their opinions on issues such as budgets and ordinances. The elected officials worked hard to ensure that the town ran smoothly and that all of its residents had access to resources like public transportation, healthcare, and education. They also actively participated in civic activities to help promote a sense of unity within the community. In addition to attending community events and helping to pass legislation, local political candidates also ran for office each year in order to represent the people’s interests at the state level. This provided citizens with an opportunity to participate in the political process by casting their ballots for representatives who shared their values.

How It Works:
Here at BestPlaces, we were looking at the voting patterns since the 2000 election and realized that we could express the results of each election as one letter. R if the Republican Party candidate won, D for the Democrat and I for the Independent. The six elections (2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020) would be expressed as six-letter word (R R D R R).
Then we went a little further and added the dimension of magnitude. If the difference of victory was greater than 10 percent, the letter is upper case, and lower case if the difference was less than 10 percent. This allows us to see interesting voting patterns at just a glance.
