The map below is a screenshot from a larger interactive map from The CITY, a nonprofit news website. Most of Brooklyn, as with New York City, is blue (Democratic), but a not insignificant, and growing share is red (Republican), or at least redder.
What areas vote Republican? Well, notably enclaves of Orthodox Jews, including three Hasidic neighborhoods and a large Modern Orthodox area, which are culturally conservative. Also, Brooklyn's Chinese communities and "Russian" (former Soviet Union) communities, as well as some of what would be called "white ethnic" (notably Italian-American) areas. Many neighborhoods, including ones that voted for Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, appear somewhat less blue, as shown in this map suggesting a shift toward Republican candidate, and now President-elect, Donald Trump. Some of that was less an increase in Republican votes than Democratic voters staying home, as this NY Focus article explains.
