Question: OUTSIDE Staten Island, what do you think is the most conservative neighborhood in NYC? I used to think Bay Ridge, but I think due to demographic changes that is not true anymore.
Some people point to the UES. I disagree. The UES may be fiscally conservative, perhaps...but not socially. At least, not from what I have seen.
I am thinking maybe parts of Queens would fit into the definition of overall conservative.
Not totally familiar with where various Queens neighborhoods fit in on the scale but Bronx neighborhoods in Pelham Gardens , Morris Park, Throg's Neck and Country Club would probably give any of them a run for the title.
Toss up between Middle Village (Queens) and Throggs Neck/Pelham Bay (Bronx). I'm sure Brooklyn has something comparable but I'm not familiar enough to know it. Anywhere in Manhattan doesn't come close.

Brooklyn - probably Mill Basin these days, Dyker Heights some as well.
Queens - probably the general area of Middle Village/Maspeth/Glendale, Howard Beach, and Broad Channel/the western half of the Rockaways.
Bronx - Country Club most likely (Throggs Neck has been diversifying)
Manhattan - not sure such an area exists (fiscally conservative maybe but not socially)
Staten Island - much of it

Howard Beach and Middle Village, Queens, close competitors to most of Staten Island.
Bergen Beach in Brooklyn.
For the Bronx, Pelham Gardens, Throgs Neck and Morris Park’s conservatives are a dying breed now, and, Country Club, if more conservative is far from the scale oF the aforementioned Queens and Staten Island ones (AOC won the district again on top of that)
Manhattan’s Upper East Side is the closest to conservative.
Country Club is a part of Throggs Neck - so I don't count it as a separate neighborhood. Some would argue it's actually part of Pelham Bay, but they are wrong and that destroys my entire geographical identity lol.
Just because TN is diversifying doesn't mean it's becoming less conservative. It's always been a little diverse. From my observations over the years, residents are accepting of non-white folks "they know", and will hang out with them, call them their boy, etc....then turn around say some of the most racist stuff you can imagine. So racist AND hypocritical lol.
Based on the number of people I grew up with that I have unfollowed/unfriended on Facebook lately......the modern day version of conservatism is alive and well in TN. Pelham Bay is essentially the same neighborhood, just on the other side of 95 and a touch more Italian with uglier housing stock.
There's a map that will show you how many people voted for Trump in 2016. It's extremely detailed and you can zoom in, especially to see that a place like Breezy Point in Queens had 75% of voters supporting Trump.
If the City Data NYC Forum was an actual part of NYC, it would easily win most conservative district.
