After both the U.S. of A. Presidential election together with the Brexit plebiscite inward the U.K. many observers noted divergent voting patterns amid rural together with urban voters. In both these cases poorer, to a greater extent than rural areas showed to a greater extent than back upwards for the anti-establishment candidate or position. The to a greater extent than affluent together with urban areas were to a greater extent than probable to vote for what were seen equally the institution candidate or position.

This map revealed that the Pro-Independence parties did best inward rural areas of Catalan, piece the pro-Unionist parties got their best results inward to a greater extent than populated, urban areas.
This urban - rural divide for Catalan independence is examined to a greater extent than closely past times El Diario. El Diario's Analysis of 21D uses a serial of charts, cartograms together with maps to examine how back upwards for the pro together with anti independence political parties has changed since the final regional elections. It too examines where at that spot is virtually back upwards for independence inward the share together with which areas demo virtually back upwards for remaining a purpose of Spain.
The pro-Unionist parties won the bulk of votes inward the large cities. While the rural areas inward the share showed the virtually back upwards for independence. However this urban-rural divide isn't the alone designing picked upwards past times El Diario's analysis.

Those municipalities amongst the virtually voters born inward Catalonia showed the biggest back upwards for independence. Non-Catalan born voters were to a greater extent than probable to vote for pro-Unionist parties together with these voters tend to alive inward the large cities together with to a greater extent than urban areas of Catalan.
