Questions about Philadelphia

[jiacinto]

What are the red areas closer to the center of Phila? And why is the West all blue except for a few areas right by Montgomery County?

1. Brief explanation

The areas near Montgomery County :

Ward 21 is a white working class area (Manayunk and Roxborough).

Ward 9 is Chestnut Hill (considerable amount of upper class old money).

Wards 5, 8 and 15 would be Center City (high liberal population).

Ward 27 in West Phila. is the University of Pennsylvania area.
