One hundred and seventy-one American cities and counties are designated as “college towns,” according to a report from The American Communities Project, a data-gathering initiative of the Michigan State University School of Journalism.

“Just seven flipped the other way, from blue to red, and typically by smaller margins. Democrats grew their percentage point margins in 117 counties, while 54 counties grew redder.”
