5 Most Liberal Cities in the U.S.

4. Washington D.C.

Insider Monkey Score: 3.35

Washington D.C. has always been a liberal stronghold, with 95% of voters voting for the democratic candidate in every election. D.C. has voted Democrat for president every year since it gained the right to do so, and its city government would be overwhelmingly progressive if it were a normal city. Another reason for Washington D.C. being so liberal is because it is politically isolated from its suburbs, which are considered to be in Virginia and Maryland. 

The district is also a majority-minority region, meaning that its largest group is less than 50% of the population, and Washington D.C. also has a foreign-born population of 13.5%. The city also had the highest per capita general expenditure in America in 2020, at $22,508.
