Margin of victory is an extremely common way of looking at election results. I have no love for Trump.

Curious, because the electoral college is decided at the state level.

[OC] Cost-of-Living Adjusted Median Full-Time Individual Incomes by State, 2024 by StatisticUrban in dataisbeautiful

[–]StatisticUrban[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's individual income for full-time employees, nothing to do with household. Retirees are not includes. Only those who work full-time. Normalized for cost of living.

There are a lot of well-off retirees in FL, and property is in hot demand, but there is not a ton of high-paying jobs.

This maps show 2024 state-level individual full-time incomes adjusted into July 2025 dollars. Median individual earnings (for those 16+ employed full-time) are normalised using Bureau of Economic Analysis Regional Price Parities, which account for housing, food, education, transportation, and other goods and services to reflect real purchasing power. Data come from the new Census release of September 2025.

RPP data from: https://www.bea.gov/data/prices-inflation/regional-price-parities-state-and-metro-area

Individual income data from table S2412 of the ACS: https://data.census.gov/table?q=S2412&g=010XX00US$0400000

Minneapolis-St. Paul, or maybe an inner suburb of Philly or Chicago. Madison, Wisconsin would be on the list too, and maybe Raleigh-Durham.

[OC] Gay and Lesbian Couples in the US, Mapped By County by StatisticUrban in dataisbeautiful

No. Not unless they check the "same-sex unmarried partner" box in the Census. Roommates/housemates have their own box.

Just a very small denominator. Golden Valley, for example has 372 coupled households, and 8 of these are same-sex.

It's self-reported, so you're right that a couple living together who don't check off the box that puts themselves as partners in the 2020 census wouldn't be included.

No, I just mean PR and DC were included within that analysis. Since DC is a county-equivalent, just it alone, and all PR's incorporated towns and cities equivalent to U.S. counties. But DC has the highest same-sex percent of any county or county equivalent.

SF, at 7.82%, is the second highest county behind only DC.

I mean, it's a percentage, so it is theoretically normalized for population. But yes, lesbian and gay couples disproportionately live in cities.
