Correction:
In text below I corrected percentage of Democratic held districts where renter HH were more likely than home owners to have child below age of 18 to read 54%, instead my original 72%; data in linked tables remains accurate.
---------------
I recently posted (HERE) that in Oregon renters were 56% more likely than home owners to have children below the age of 6.
That got me thinking, I wonder if there were any differences between state legislative districts held by Republicans and Democrats?
Well, it turns out that there were differences, but they weren't what most people (including me) likely expected....
