In recent years, the political swing state of Ohio has seen some older suburbs become swing communities themselves. They have supported a more even mix of voters as Democrats move in and some Republican voters settle in new suburbs even farther from city centers.
In 2004, the close-in Columbus suburb of Upper Arlington gave the win to President Bush but also gave John Kerry a record number of votes for a Democrat running for the White House. Just two decades ago, the city voted Republican in presidential races by 4-1 ratios.
