Is there any other group that lives in urban areas at such a high rate as Jews? And if so, are any less liberal? Maybe it’s just a question of why they tend to live there. Is there any difference between how rural living Jews tend to vote and urban living Jews tend to vote like in the split between rural and urban voters in the general voting population?

Exactly the question I’m (this is Evan) working on for my next piece. There lines in america are far less rich/poor, far less red/blue states, and far more along the lines of City/Country and professions where people work with their hands versus where they work with their mouths (the rhetoric industries like academia, journalism, entertainment, psychology, etc.)

Orthodox Jews, concentrated in the northeastern states, vote about 2 to 1 for Conservatives and Republicans.

However, from memory, Orthodox Jews only make up about 10% of American Jews.

Also, Orthodox Jews are not a perfect political fit with American Conservatism.

They use public welfare programs at a higher than average rate in America and Israel.

And, at least in Israel, most Orthodox Jews hold the very controversial point of view that they should not be required to join the military.
