The project was a collaboration between the University of Southern California Equity Research Institute and The Atlantic<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In early 2023 the University of Southern California Equity Research Institute (USC ERI) partnered with Ron Brownstein of The Atlantic to analyze demographic data from the US Census Bureau\u2019s 2020 5-year American Community Survey, along with election outcomes by congressional district from the 2022 mid-term elections (118th Congress), provided by Daily Koss Elections.<\/p>\n

The analysis, featured in a\u00a0recent article<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>in\u00a0The Atlantic\u00a0<\/i>(as\u00a0<\/i>well as a\u00a0follow-up article<\/a><\/strong>), organizes the 435 US congressional districts into four quadrants defined by (1) whether they are above or below the national average percentage people of color (POC), defined as all people not identifying as non-Hispanic white, and (2) whether they are above or below the national average percentage of non-Hispanic white adults (age 25 or older) that have a bachelor\u2019s degree or higher. Education levels among non-Hispanic white adults, rather than all adults, were used because they are associated with a more distinct difference in political behavior than for people of color.<\/p>\n
