I understand that red and blue areas roughly mean conservative and liberal respectively. However, my impression was that socioeconomic status often played an important role in ascertaining which areas of a given city are red or blue.

Nevertheless, there are areas of a city, say A and B, where the residents have similar socioeconomic characteristics but where the residents of area A and area B are quite different politically. I'm wondering how often does that sort of situation happen.

Red and blue areas as far as what? Presidential elections? Senate seats? Governors? Registered voters? There are lots of determining factors that can be weighed for designating an area liberal or conservative. And are you talking about entire states or cities or what?

I talk about inter-neighborhood comparisons within a city.

You're correct in saying that it's probably level-dependent, but party registration may be the closest thing to what I want to know.
