ZIP codes that have donated the most money to Joe Biden this year

With the 2024 presidential election well underway, voters are again choosing between two familiar candidates as President Joe Biden squares off former President Donald J. Trump. Both camps are fighting for every available vote—and every campaign dollar.

So far this year, Biden has raised $16.9 million from individual donors—more than 40 times what Trump has raised. However, that's mostly due to the large number of Republican primary candidates, as well as the fact that Trump donors tend to give smaller amounts.

To determine which of the country's nearly 42,000 zip codes donated the most money to Joe Biden so far this year, Stacker analyzed Federal Election Commission records, released March 21, to compile a list of the top 50. This story considers only FEC-processed records from individual donors (as opposed to outside groups or committees), and zip codes had to have donated at least $1,000.

Each zip code is ranked by the share of donations given to the Biden campaign compared to all donations to presidential candidates from that zip code. In the event of a tie, the total amount donated was used.

The top 50 zip codes that have been most generous toward Biden's campaign are largely located in Democratic strongholds California, New York, and Massachusetts. They include some of the most wealthy American neighborhoods, including Manhattan's Financial District and Cambridge, Massachusetts, home of Harvard University.

But there were also some surprises on the list. Keep reading to find out the top 50 zip codes donating the most money to Joe Biden.
