New Jersey is more Democratic than I expected. In 2012: Obama 58.3% in New Jersey; 60.7% in Massachusetts. Looks like there's more contrast in New Jersey within in different regions; there just isn't a large enough single region of the state with a Republican majority to make a Republican district.

In MA, I don't think there was even a red county. In NJ, there are multiple red counties.
Despite being less white than MA, Obama got less of the overall vote in NJ.
There isn't. In 2008, the reddest Congressional District voted for Obama by an 11% margin. Capuano's district composed some inner areas of Boston and adjacent cities; it was just slightly over half white.
Scott Brown, the last Republican senator, endorsed Donald Trump.

Yeah it's been reliably Democratic for about 25 years. As seems to be the case in most states, urban areas are Democrat while suburban and rural lean Republican.
I would have thought maybe western Massachusetts or Boston suburbs would have been Republican.
