      <![CDATA[Thanks for this post, super-interesting. Any sense of how much higher urban areas are compared to suburban or rural?<br>
<br>
Overall this may have some connections to the idea that many levels of community involvement in heterogeneous, urban areas has been shown to be lower than more homogeneous, suburban areas--according to Robert Putnam at least: <a href="http://www.boston.com/news/globe/ideas/articles/2007/08/05/the_downside_of_diversity/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.boston.com/news/globe/ideas/art&hellip;</a> (And before anyone jumps on the somewhat xenophobic/racially-charged nature of the headline, be sure to read the whole article, there's solid stuff in there about how we can move past these apparent lower levels of community.)

Packrat:  Liberals tend to engage in serial relationships resulting in large numbers of children without fathers in the house. A comedian once made the observation that when he was a teen he was sleeping on the couch, his normal bed, when he was startled awake by a stranger in the house.

      <![CDATA[In general, the higher the percentage of Democrats in a city, the higher the number. Liberals in cities tend to live alone because no one can stand to be around them.<br>
