- Abstract
Prior research and public discourse suggest that people from rural regions are more likely to vote for right-wing populist parties than people in non-rural regions. Did this urban-rural difference also exist in the 2021 federal election? What roles do the economic situation and infrastructural provision of the place of residence or its location in East or West Germany play? By linking survey data and information on the urban and rural districts of respondents, we present visual and statistical analyses of the influence of place of residence on voting decisions. We show that individual characteristics of the place of residence are associated with an increased chance of voting for the AfD. Taking all local explanatory factors together, the positive association between voting for the AfD and place of residence in a district in eastern Germany stands out.
