I happen to think our CUNY @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social map is a bit more detailed & hopefully as visually appealing & even more useful (20 filters, comparison w/2021, and overlays to display subways, NYCHA sites, & Council districts). Hope it's helpful! www.urbanresearchmaps.org/electioncomp...

You can see the difference visually, as well. Maps below show renters/subway riders (Mamdani 57% of the vote) www.urbanresearchmaps.org/electioncomp... vs owners/car drivers (Cuomo 51%) www.urbanresearchmaps.org/electioncomp... Stark!

The NO vote on NYC Ballot Proposal 6 (local elections even years) closely mirrors the areas of the city where Trump did well in 2024, Sliwa did well in 2021 (and where Cuomo has done well so far in 2025): www.urbanresearchmaps.org/electioncomp...

In 2021, Adams swept these districts w/89% of the vote.

In Borough Park, Cuomo received some of his strongest support such as ED 42 in Assembly district 48 w/96% of vote: www.urbanresearchmaps.org/electioncomp... In 2021, Adams did poorly in Boro Pk; in this this ED Sliwa had 56% of vote in '21. Also, only 265 people voted in '21 vs over 800 now (!).

Now w/almost all scanners reporting, Cuomo's vote support grows in districts w/plurality of voters w/Jewish surnames www.urbanresearchmaps.org/electioncomp... (almost 58% of vote in those EDs & a 20 pt margin). Notably Adams won those EDs in '21 w/70% of the vote & a 45pt margin.

Although the 2025 results are blank till tonight, you can explore the filters showing citywide 2021 results for all election districts that match each filter. For example, you can show EDs w/plurality of active registered voters w/Muslim, Jewish, or Chinese surnames & vote results in those EDs.

The @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social map will compare 2025 w/2021 mayoral results by election district & citywide. It gives you the ability to filter results by 20 categories of demographics & electoral patterns. The map has overlays to show City Council districts, subways, and NYCHA properties.
