Pick a group · color the map
How to read this map Pick a group above. Each neighborhood is colored by what share of its residents hold that view — darker means a higher share. Min/Avg/Max show the range across all 1,174 Maine neighborhoods. Switch between groups to see how the geography flips.
Every neighborhood in Maine leans toward regulatory caution on data centers — but by very different margins. This view sorts neighborhoods by how persuadable they are. The tighter the margin between the leading group and the next-closest, the more contestable the ground.
Persuadability tiers
How to read this map Orange neighborhoods are the most persuadable (under 15-point margin). Blue neighborhoods lean regulatory but can still move (15–25 points). Dark navy is locked in (over 25 points). Stats show how many neighborhoods, how many residents, and what share of Maine fall in each tier.
