Notes:  Hillary Clinton crushed Donald Trump in the Town of Greenburgh as Clinton took 72.4% compared to Trump's 24%.  Clinton's percentage and vote total (33,413) even surpassed Obama who received a mere 69.2% and 29,359 votes in 2012 and 70.2% and 31,457 votes in the transformative 2008 contest. Greenburgh experienced enormous turnout of nearly 80% of active, registered voters in the 2016 presidential election.  Including third parties, a total of 46,461 ballots were cast - compared to 42,711 in 2012, 45,238 in 2008, 43,311 in 2004 and 41,229 in 2000.  I only have vote totals going back to 2000, but in light of Greenburgh's slowly increasing and rapidly aging population, it's quite possible that Hillary Clinton just received the most votes in a single election in the town's long history.

Amid all this affection for Hillary, who loved her the most?  The village of Hastings-on-Hudson signaled its growing reputation as "Upper West Side North" by voting 79% for Clinton, the highest among the incorporated villages.  The distinction for the most ardent Clinton supporters, however, goes to Fairview - which I define for purposes of this survey as Fairview Fire District within the Greenburgh Central School district.  Fairview gave Clinton 84% of its votes, compared to a stingy 13% for Trump.  Hastings and Fairview confirmed once against their mutual status as Greenburgh's most politically liberal communities which they last demonstrated back in 2013 when they led the town by a wide margin in support for county commissioner candidate Noam Bramson against Rob Astorino.

ED46, consisting of the Fairview neighborhood centered along Manhattan Avenue, demonstrated the greatest fervor for Hillary by giving her 95% of their votes: with Hillary getting 729 votes, compared to just 34 for Trump.  Hillary also received 90%+ in ED81 (TOV Elmsford SD neighborhood north of 287, east of Saw Mill River Road, but incorporating both sides of the Sprain);  ED47 on the north-east edge of Parkway Gardens and split between Greenburgh Central and Valhalla school districts; and ED23 (the north side of Hastings, east of Route 9).

Where did Trump get support, as meager as it may have been? Two small electoral districts largely in the Pocantico Hills School District are the only Greenburgh community where Trump received as much as 30%. Among Greenburgh's 81 individual electoral districts (which are generally designed to include about 1,000 residents, but often vary in size), Trump won 40% in just 3:  45% in ED29 (Greenburgh's smallest district) which includes streets between the Sprain and Knollwood Rd at the far northern end of town; 44% in ED51  north of Dobbs Ferry Road between 87 and Worthington Ave.; and 40% in ED66, which is Poet's Corner south of Secor Road.   Trump received his highest vote total, 275, in Dobbs Ferry's ED13 (Greenburgh's largest ED) in that village's north west corner.
