Partially, because minorities (regardless of income) are least likely to vote republican and Westchester has a larger minority(%) than both counties of Long Island.
Like I said median income is similar, as is the percentage of non-white people. And the myth that working-class people vote Republican and the 1% votes Democratic is just that - a myth spread by right-wing radio hosts to dupe turkeys into voting for Christmas.
Yonkers, Mt Veron, etc. There are parts of Westchester that are really more extensions of the Bronx than real suburbs. There's not so much of this in Nassau and Suffolk. The parts of LI that resemble NYC, physically, demographically, and politically, are actually part of NYC (Brooklyn and Queens.)

Well, I would say there are some parts of Nassau that resemble Queens but other than that I agree.
There's very little streetwall midrise multifamily in Nassau. What apartments there are tend to be garden apartments. But southern Westchester has quite a bit. I grew up in central Nassau, and my sister now lives in Yonkers. So I've been exposed to both.

What about the apartments in Hempstead?
But my comparison was more for say, Cambria Heights, rather than the more urban parts of Queens.
