Which areas of Ohio went the most for Trump and Biden in 2020?

There were plenty of Donald Trump voters living on the north side of Wooster who cast ballots at the Parkview Christian Church last November.

There were plenty of Joe Biden voters, too.

The Wayne County seat in northeast Ohio was relatively split between the two candidates, with some precincts in town giving a slight edge to Trump and polling places closer to the College of Wooster siding with Biden.

The precinct at Parkview Christian Church, though, was as split as it gets: Exactly 548 votes apiece were cast for the two presidential candidates. 

The New York Times recently published what it calls “An Extremely Detailed Map of the 2020 Election.” The interactive map allows you to scour the vast political landscape of Ohio to see how individual communities voted in the 2020 presidential election.

Zoomed fully out, the map showcases the swaths of rural areas dominated by President Donald Trump en route to his 8-point win, matching his success here four years earlier. There are dark blue patches of Democratic support in all the large cities, with smaller blips of Biden votes in college towns like Yellow Springs, Oberlin, Gambier and Athens.

There is also a version of the map showing each precinct’s voting habits in 2020 compared to 2016. The cities got bluer. Large portions of Appalachian Ohio got redder.

A total of 5,974,121 ballots were cast in Ohio for the 2020 General Election, producing a record 74% voter turnout. Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose reported that all 88 counties had a higher percentage turnout than in the 2016 election.

Here are some more details gleaned from the NYT map of results:
