In 2017, Middleburg, VA was a small rural town in Northern Virginia with a population of just over 1,000 residents. Its politics were largely dictated by state and federal government policies but the town was represented in the local government by Mayor Amy Manuel and four council members elected at-large. All of these officials worked hard to ensure that the Middleburg community remained a pleasant place to live with healthy economic opportunities for its citizens. The town was also home to numerous civic organizations such as the Lions Club and Rotary Club that kept the community involved in local issues and initiatives. As a result, Middleburg had become an important center of commerce and activity in Northern Virginia by 2017.

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.
