The news: Business Insider compiled data by Clarity Campaign Labs and mapped the most conservative and most liberal cities in each state. Where do you fall on the list?
The methodology: These results are pulled from an online tool that allows people to find the city in their state that aligns with their political beliefs.
The results are pulled from Clarity's national models and SmartVAN Co-Op voter file, so they're pretty much as accurate as you're going to get and filtered right down to the zip code (having used similar tools before, I can tell you their system is capable of highlighting the specific addresses of everyone included). Their data set is composed of responses to the following seven statements. A "yes" answer on any of them except for religion indicated a liberal leaning:
- I identify with the Democrats more so than the Republicans.
- Abortion should be legal and accessible to all women.
- I attend religious services regularly.
- Climate change is an immediate concern that must be addressed.
- There should be more restrictions on purchasing and carrying guns.
- The government should reduce the deficit primarily by raising taxes rather than cutting services.
- I prefer urban areas.
The statements regarding religious services and rural/urban preferences were not included in this data set, presumably to make sure the results were based entirely off political beliefs. You can try Clarity Campaign's tool here; I managed to get a section of New York just a 10-minute walk from where I live, but your results may considerably vary.

Burlington VT is pretty liberal, I would have thought Brattleborough would rank worse. Don’t know much about Norh Concord though.
..it is (*sigh*).
I want to know what state you are in before I answer.
Comparing towns with less than 500 people to cities of 100s of thousands? This is a joke, right?
Prinsburg, Minnesota.
Population: 497
Never heard of it.
I am stuck in CA for now, but my home is in Texas.
Unfortunately, big cities are for the most part liberal.
Texas is pretty simple. Just stay away from inner cities, Austin and the Mexican border towns.
I don’t disagree with Baker, Florida as the most conservative as that area really is but they should have had a minimum size of say 5000 population.
Baker was a sawmill town and hardly more than a place on the map.
Colorado city az? Isn’t that where Warren Jeff’s was from? Just saying
Thanks. I see Texas as the front line for Christian conservatives against liberal - and I plan to join the political fight against those liberals!

This is a joke. Garden City, TX has 334 people and Sarita, TX has 238, most of whom are Mexicans.
My educated guess of cities with actual people in them would be Lubbock, TX as most conservative, And Austin, the BigBlue Anus of Tx,as most liberal.
Thanks! Please see post 13.
Next month we’ll be moving from south Florida to the panhandle. Can’t wait for the change of scenery and the change of attitude.
Yup! Polygamists, all on welfare, out there “bleeding the beast.” Conservatives? I don’t think so. Not even close.
Yes that will be a big change indeed.
The NE I-95 corridor is solid blue.
