New York City experienced its highest voter participation since 1969, with over two million residents casting their ballots in Tuesday’s mayoral election, resulting in a swift and decisive victory.

Mamdani, 34, triumphed over former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an independent after losing to Mamdani in the June Democratic primary, and Republican Curtis Sliwa. Mamdani secured wins in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and the Bronx, garnering 50.4% of the vote—surpassing the combined total of his two opponents—while Cuomo’s support was concentrated in Staten Island.

The following is an analysis of Mamdani’s strongest and weakest areas, based on precinct-level data from the .

The Times reported that Cuomo performed better in predominantly white areas, while Mamdani found more support in areas with majority Asian, Black, or Hispanic residents. Mamdani also showed strength in precincts where former Vice President Kamala Harris won in the 2024 election, whereas Cuomo did better in precincts that favored President Donald Trump, who endorsed Cuomo just before the election.

According to a report by The City, a New York-based non-profit news organization that analyzed the candidates’ performance across different demographics, Mamdani outperformed his rivals across all income levels, winning at least 50% of the vote in districts both below and above the median income level. Mamdani also performed notably better in election districts with more public transit users, renters, or public housing, while Cuomo gained more support in districts with more drivers and homeowners.

Mamdani dominated most of Manhattan. He achieved his highest margins of victory—the difference in votes between the top two candidates—in Morningside Heights (+49), Hamilton Heights (+47), Harlem (+45), and the East Village (+42).

Cuomo prevailed in the Upper East Side, Midtown, Midtown East, Murray Hill, NoMad, Flatiron, NoHo, TriBeCa, Two Bridges, and Battery Park. His largest leads in Manhattan were in Midtown East, Upper East Side, and Battery Park, where he exceeded Mamdani by 24 points, and in Tribeca, by 26 points. The Upper East Side recorded the highest total votes per neighborhood, according to the Times breakdown, with 90,390.

Many of Mamdani’s strongest neighborhoods were in Brooklyn, particularly in the northern part of the borough. Bushwick, where 29,197 people voted, gave Mamdani a 67-point lead. He achieved the same margin in Clinton Hill, where 11,369 people voted; Prospect Heights, where 10,119 people voted; and East Williamsburg, where 5,030 people voted.

Mamdani also secured similarly significant victories, with margins of 50 points or higher, in 14 additional Brooklyn neighborhoods: Greenwood Heights, South Slope, Ditmas Park, Greenpoint, Fort Greene, Gowanus, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Boerum Hill, Park Slope, Flatbush, Ocean Hill, Downtown Brooklyn, Prospect Lefferts Gardens, and Windsor Terrace. Bedford Stuyvesant, which had the third-highest voter turnout behind the Upper East Side and Upper West Side, gave Mamdani a 57-point advantage, with 77% of the 48,030 votes. (Mamdani also won the Upper West Side, where 85,951 people voted, by a 5-point margin.)

Cuomo performed better in several south Brooklyn neighborhoods. Borough Park, Coney Island, and Sheepshead Bay were among his strongest areas. In Borough Park, Cuomo won by a 78-point margin over Mamdani, in Sheepshead Bay by 52 points, and in Coney Island by 43 points.

In Queens, Mamdani had the largest margins of victory in Jamaica Hills (+54), Ridgewood (+48), and Long Island City (+42). He also won comfortably in several other major Queens neighborhoods, including Astoria, which he represented as a state assemblymember, securing a 39-point victory with 66% of the 45,362 votes cast.

Cuomo performed better in the north-central and northeast neighborhoods of Queens, including Bayside (+25), Flushing (+13), and Douglaston (+35).

Cuomo won in most parts of Staten Island, except for the majority of north shore neighborhoods, which went to Mamdani.

Mamdani also flipped the Bronx, where Cuomo had won a majority of first-choice votes in the Democratic primary.
