84. "Luzerne County is 90.7% white."

Wed Jan 16, 2019, 07:13 PM

Jan 2019

Most of the state of PA is "predominately white" (82%, with 12% black, 7% Hispanic, 4% Asian, 0.5% Native/Pacific islander). Even Philadelphia is still majority white.

I posted here in this thread how Luzerne still voted for Wolf (D) over Wagner (R), both in 2018 & in 2014. The flip came with Casey (D) for Senate where they voted for him in 2012 but for a native son Barletta (R) in 2018.

No doubt there have been some demographic shifts but there's also some unexplained other things going on there as well when compared to the consistency of the other counties.
