The progressive Zohran Mamdani appears to have defeated Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary for New York City Mayor. The result may send shockwaves through the Democratic establishment, and other progressive candidates running in elections across the country will be keen to learn from Mamdani’s victory.
Many potential Democratic nominees will no doubt be poring over The New York Times’ Most Detailed Map of the NYC Mayoral Primary. This interactive map colors each electoral district based on whether Zohran Mamdani, Andrew M. Cuomo, or Brad Lander received the most votes in Tuesday’s primary. It also includes several filters that allow users to view the results by districts with majority White, Black, Hispanic, or Asian populations; by median income (lower, middle, and higher); and by population density. These tools enable users to dig into some of the underlying trends that shaped the primary race.
While the New York Times map includes filters for race, income, and population density, it does not offer one for median age - perhaps due to limitations in demographic data at the electoral district level. It has been widely reported that Mamdani performed particularly well among younger voters. To verify this claim, psephologists will need to examine opinion polling data more closely, where voter age information is more readily available.
