It doesn't seem like there's any great mystery here: conservatives generally won't live in racially diverse areas. So Republicans tend to sort out of areas with heavy nonwhite populations, while Democrats sort more randomly.

This seems too pat and self-congratulatory to me. I get that it could be an anomaly, but the metro I live in (the 3rd largest in the state) is VERY white and VERY D whereas (even at a neighborhood level) the bigger cities are a lot more more diverse and much more conservative

Asheville? Austin?

The latter

This sounds distinctly like econ-speak for "politics is downstream of culture"

People who identify as Dem like a close knit society/neighborhood. GOP tend to like lots of land away from city rules.

Seems like the obvious hypothesis compared to the hypothesis that people move in-order to be around like-minded people. In fact, I would have assumed that people who move are more liberal, so every sink for human movement (cities, coasts) would tend to become more liberal.

I moved to costal CA, for example, because I like moving and I like coasts. My parents remain in small town TX because while they think oceans are pretty, there are few things they hate more than the idea of moving "away from home".

It turns out, where they are is ultra-conservative, where I am is ultra-liberal. Neither of us put any thought into being around like-minded people, though.
