Geography and Diversity in Anaheim
Anaheim stretches across more than 50 square miles. The city as a whole is
ethnically diverse, but some areas are more diverse while some are more
representative of individual groups.
For example, these five Census tracts highlighted below are all part of Anaheim,
yet each one represents a very different makeup in terms of ethnicity, income,
and age.

MAJOR CITIES: All use
district elections.
Because of their large
populations, ratios of
residents to council
members are high.
LARGE CITIES: Most use
district elections,
although some elect
at-large or by numbered
seats. Ratios of residents
per council member
tend to range from
30,000 to 50,000.
MEDIUM CITIES: Use a
mix of at-large and
district elections. Ratios
of residents per council
member are lower.
Anaheim’s ratio of residents per representative is unusually high for a city of
its size.

The average ratio for the
four next-largest and
next-smallest cities is 44,467
residents per
representative.
If Anaheim had seven representatives, the City’s ratio
would be 48,038. With nine,
the ratio would be 37,363.

What is polarized voting?
POLARIZED VOTING occurs when a distinct minority group of voters consistently
vote for different candidates than the majority of voters. In an at-large electoral
system, this can result in a lack of representation for the minority group.
The California Voting Rights Act addresses racially polarized voting, but voting can
also be polarized by neighborhoods or other geography.
EXAMPLE
Cityville has 100,000 voting citizens and 5 city council seats elected at
large.
30,000 voters consistently vote
for B candidates.
B
A
Population
70,000 voters consistently
vote for A candidates.
In elections, 70,000 votes
(70%) go to A candidates.
{
30,000 votes (30%) go to
B candidates.
{ B
A
Five Council Seats
The Result: all 5 seats are won by A candidates.
Representation
Population
The City Council ONLY represents A voters, not B voters, even though B
voters make up almost a third of the electorate.

Is there geographically polarized voting in Anaheim?
Anaheim Hills
Votes for Council Candidates, 2010
1 dot = 1 vote for a losing Council candidate
West Anaheim
1 dot = 1 vote for a winning Council candidate
Central Anaheim
Votes for winning candidates came from both the flatlands of West and Central Anaheim, and from Anaheim
Hills, but a much greater proportion of the Hills precincts’ votes went to the winners.
45 percent of Anaheim Hills precincts’ votes went to the winning candidates. 32 percent of West and Central
Anaheim’s votes went to the winning candidates.

This graph plots the amount of
money spent by a candidate on
their campaign for the 2006,
2008, and 2010 Anaheim City
Council elections. As can be
seen here, having the most
money doesn’t guarantee that
a candidate will win a seat.
However, a candidate must
meet a spending threshold in
order to make it into the top
three candidates competing
for seats.
See page two for information
about the impact of
independent expenditures.

“independent expenditures” on their
campaign for the 2006, 2008, and 2010
Anaheim City Council elections. These
numbers represent the total amount of
money that went into electing (or
opposing) a candidate.

The addition of independent expenditures only serves to widen the distance
between the front-runner candidates
and the rest of the pack. Candidates
lacking personal wealth or fundraising
capability did not attract campaign
funds from independent sources.
METHODOLOGY: These campaign finance totals were compiled using Fair Political Practices Commission forms 460 and 501. Data from 2012 was not compiled for this graph as
some candidates and committees had not filed their final forms (some committees and candidates continue filing forms for the year after a campaign concludes). “Expenditures” were counted, rather than funds received, and in cases in which expenditures from month-to-month forms did not reconcile, the year-to-date expenditures on the filing
through December 31 of that year were considered the most accurate total. Expenditures that were categorized as refunds of campaign money (RFD) to donors, and expenditures that were categorized as civic donations (CVC) that occurred after the election took place, were not counted toward the total. All other expenditures were.
