Much has been written about how Donald Trump carried Cambria County with 66.8% of the vote or more than two out of every three who voted. The BBC, New York Times and other national media outlets have come here to do reports on how a once staunchly democratic county could vote so overwhelmingly for Trump. However when one looks at the precinct and/or city level a more complex picture emerges. There are 133 precincts in the county. This post will look at the 20 precincts in its largest city, Johnstown, PA.
The table above shows the vote totals for Clinton and Trump. When their votes are totaled across the 20 precincts, Clinton won by 83 votes or 1.3% of the total cast. Hillary Clinton won 11 of these precincts (highlighted in blue) and Donald Trump won 9. The African American precincts of Prospect (82.1%), Johnstown Center-2 (63.9%), Seventh Ward (63.4%), and Kernville (60.8%) were strongest for Clinton while the 21st ward was strongest for Trump (61.5%) followed by the 8th ward precinct 3 (57.9%).
While Clinton won more precincts in Johnstown the precincts where Trump won had a higher average or mean turnout. The precinct where Trump won had a mean turnout of 406.8 voters while the one where Clinton won had an average turnout of 252.8 voters. This may be due to either there being more people in these precincts more registered voters or both. While Clinton was victorious in Johnstown the voting data suggest a high degree of polarization as the video below shows.
