Expected single parents to be active voters • Maps of distribution of all singles and single parents compared with areas of high voting activity (75% and higher) • Voting wasn’t very active in the areas of high concentration of single parents • Singles with no children appeared to be more active

  10. Same analysis method applied to married couples • Surprisingly, the areas with highest concentration of families with children were not in the highest voting activity areas

  11. General Race of Voters Races by location: white, Black, Asian, Hispanic, and other • Selection of each race, and the highest concentration are found by location • As a result, the Alachua county is predominantly white, following the black community

  12. Selection of the highest percentages of registered voters • Emphasis of these voters by location, and mostly active in the white community

  13. Races are combined with the highest concentration of voters by location • The most predominant races, white and black, have the most concentration of active voters in the center of Alachua County

  14. Results • The White and Black communities are the most predominant races, therefore the pattern shows that the highest concentration of voters are located within these two communities

  15. Results • Lower turnout of voters in more rural areas of Alachua County than in municipalities. • Lower turnout of rental voters than private owner voters. • Older population is more active than the younger
