I live in Southfield, Michigan, which is now a middle class African American suburb just north of Detroit. When I was a kid it was an upper middle class Jewish suburb. The area of the city I live in now is just on the northern most border, one street south of another city which is home to a very white, very upper middle class population
If you go on one side of the street you are in Southfield and if you go across the street you are in the other city. It is literally one side of the street versus the other.
In the other city:
The median income for a household in the village was $90,341, and the median income for a family was $102,223. Males had a median income of $80,283 versus $49,265 for females.
I am, and have been, a Clinton supporter. Imagine my surprise when I pulled out of the driveway and looked across the street and saw a “Trump” yard sign. I almost died.
Ugh. It is doubly suprising since that district, although different from mine from a Rep standpoint, is Sander Levin’s district. It is still a blue district for the most part.
53.56% of the people in Franklin (zip 48025), Michigan are registered as Democrats. 45.51% are registered Republican. Remaining are independent: 0.93%

I want to put up a Clinton yard sign but I cannot afford the 20 beans it costs to do so from her website.
It is just my luck to live across the street from a Trumpie.
I just needed someplace to rant.
