Brighton’s most Brexit areas revealed

Preston Park was the most ‘remain’ area of Brighton, according to new data obtained by the BBC.

The figures, published today, are a breakdown of how the country voted in the June EU referendum by local region, and show a large correlation between age, education, and how people voted.

In the Brighton and Hove counting area, 68.6% of voters cast a vote for Remain, while 31.4% sided with the Leave campaigns.

Every ward in the Brighton and Hove counting area voted to stay, but some had stronger Leave votes than others. The most Leave area was Hangleton and Knoll, where Brexit received 44% of the vote, closely followed by Moulsecoomb and Bevendean, and Patcham, with roughly 40% of voters in both areas opting to leave the EU.

The most remain ward was Preson Park, with 82% of voters choosing to stay in the EU. This was closely followed by St. Peter’s and North Laine, and Hannover and Elm grove, both voting 80% to remain.
