I really liked this chart but wish it had a log scale X axis or some way to show how the linear income scale translated to number of votes.

I wonder if a 3D plot would actually be useful in this case.

Wouldn't it work better if the y-axis was actual raw number of votes? Then you would really be able to see how winning the middle-income is what did it. (Vote share isn't immediately useful because you don't immediately know how many votes are in each income band.....)

Yeah, in a city where the median income is still $41k it’s going to cause some issues in interpretation

Question about this, how is the AMI for one person in NYC calculated to be $113,400 then?

I kind of just do not believe the smoothing here... a raw dot plot, faceted / colored by group would present the data imo

So the socialist attacks worked. Never let anyone tell you rich people are smart.
