Visualizing the Voters

About 188,000 Democrats voted in Tuesday's public advocate runoff. To get a sense of what that looks like, in each election district we placed a dot for every 10 people who cast votes there. See how that compares with the Republican & Democratic mayoral primary vote and NYC's adult citizen population.

Sources and Notes

Adult citizens: Dots are distributed randomly across each census tract based on the number of adults citizens -- native-born and naturalized -- in the tract, according to 2011 5-year American Community Survey from the U.S. Census.


Primary vote: We combined the Republican and Democratic votes for mayor in the September 10, 2013 primary according to the unofficial tally by the Associated Press. The vote total for each district is represented as dots distributed randomly across the district.


Runoff vote: Same method as primary vote, but based on the total Democratic votes in each district, according to the unofficial tally by the Associated Press as of 11 p.m. Tuesday, October 1, 2013 with 4,967 of 4,984 precincts reporting.


In each case, one dot represents 10 people.
