Ohio Demographics

Ohio seems to be fairly variable in terms of its politics, but not in terms of where these beliefs lie physically.  The first map colored in blue and green showcases the highest percentage of votes for each political party in the 2020 presidential elections, with blue representing Democrat votes and green representing Republican votes, because I couldn't get custom palettes to work.  The second map shows the percentage of each county's white population, and the third map showcases each county's population density.  With rather reasonable consistency through past years' presidential elections, these more diverse and more population dense areas end up being either more contested or even consistently Democratic voters, while the less populous and less diverse counties are Republican voters.  This close split between these two groups seems to cause Ohio to be a close call in terms of political affiliation, with it switching frequently throughout the past several elections.  Interestingly, however, and not depicted here due to being in previous elections, the majority of the counties along Ohio's northern border were previously Democratic voters despite having the same low-density and low-diversity population that tends to result in Republican votes.
