The 2020 presidential election is heating up with November right around the corner. With presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden facing off against President Donald Trump, Americans throughout the nation are donating big — and small — bucks to the candidate of their choice.
Recently, the New York Times looked at data from the Federal Election Commission to see how political donors in nearly every US ZIP code were spending their money. Business Insider cross-analyzed this data with Bloomberg's richest ZIP code study to see which candidate the wealthiest neighborhoods in the United States are giving money to.
To find the richest ZIP codes in the United States, Bloomberg considered those that had at least 200 tax returns filed during the 2016 filing season and analyzed 500 housing units with data provided by the latest Census survey from 2010.
Separately, the New York Times looked at fundraising data from the second quarter of 2020 to create a map that accounts for about 90% of the money donated, considering contributions over $200 made between April 1 and June 30. The publication also looked at reports disclosed by both Trump and Biden's campaigns and by the platforms WinRed and ActBlue, which processes donations for both campaigns.
