Demographics of Virginia Counties Won by Hillary

By Jeralyn

Hillary Clinton won several counties in Virginia, some by very large margine. What do they all have in common? They are almost exclusively populated by whites. Virginia's population state- wide is 73% white and 20% African-American.

Here are the demographics for the first half-dozen or so counties she won (all I've checked so far):

• Allegany: 93% white, 5.5% AA
• Bedford: 92% white, 6.3% AA
• Bland: 95% white, 4.4% AA
• Buchanan: 96% white, 3.2% AA
• Carroll: 98.5% white, 0.7%AA
• Dickenson: 98.7% white, 0.6%AA
• Grayson: 96.7% white, 2.4% AA

This is a continuation of the Virginia/MD/DC results thread. Update: Almost 200 comments, time to close here. You can continue on the newer threads.
