Slope And Gowanus Are Overwhelmingly ‘With Her’, Donation Stats Show

With just 19 days to go before the election, New York-based data-driven real estate startup RentHop has mapped out Brooklyn’s share of donors for presidential nominees Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump by zip code, and Park Slope / Gowanus (11215) is absolutely with her.

Using data from the Federal Election Commission, RentHop discovered that the Park Slope / Gowanus 11215 chose Hillary Clinton as the candidate to support with their wallets.

In September, the zip displayed 825 unique donors for Clinton compared to 20 for Trump. Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson had 0 donors. Green Party candidate Jill Stein had 3.

In the nearby 11217 zip code — which includes sections of Gowanus, Park Slope, Boerum Hill, and Fort Greene — there were 426 unique donors for Clinton compared to 7 for Trump. Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson and Green Party candidate Jill Stein received 0 donations during the month of September.

In the map, light blue and light red zip codes are areas where the candidate has 55 to 70 percent of donors. (Blue is for Clinton, red is for Trump.) Dark blue and dark red zip codes are areas where the candidate has a 70+ percent majority.

As well, there are 15 purple zip codes — meaning neither Clinton nor Trump have over 55 percent of donors.

According to the map, southwestern Brooklyn is by far the most Trump-happy area in the borough, with Coney Island, Sea Gate, Gravesend, Fort Hamilton and Dyker Heights constituting the only light red zip codes in Brooklyn. Meanwhile, Bay Ridge, Bath Beach, and most of Bensonhurst constitute the borough’s only light blue zip codes. Borough Park, Brighton Beach, Manhattan Beach and Mill Basin are purple, and the rest of the borough is solidly dark blue.
