What counties that flipped from Romney to Clinton have in common

A new analysis of housing prices reveals one way Hillary Clinton’s and Donald Trump’s supporters have been living in two economies. One has benefited from lucrative but erratic progress in global markets, and the other has been more insulated from broader economic forces — for better and for worse.

In counties that Clinton won, a typical home costs almost $100,000 more than in counties that supported the president-elect, according to the analysis from Zillow released Wednesday. The data suggests that Clinton’s voters live in places that are more dynamic and desirable — places where people want to live, whether because of the business environment, the culture or even just the weather.

Since 2000, the median price of a home in counties carried by the former Democratic nominee has jumped from $138,000 to $250,000, an increase of 82 percent. In counties where Trump won, the price increased just 52 percent over the same period, from $101,000 to $154,000.
