Jan. 15, 2025: On November 5, 2024, the American people elected Donald Trump and JD Vance as the President and Vice President of the United States for the next four years.
The leadup to the election was unusual with Joe Biden stepping down as the democratic nominee for president on July 21, 2024, and Kamala Harris stepping up. Since Harris' loss, some of her backers have criticized Biden for stepping out of the race so late because it gave Harris less than three months to make her case to the American people.
Donald Trump and JD Vance ultimately prevailed, winning both the popular vote and the electoral college vote.
With the Inauguration coming up on January 20, 2025, we thought it would be a good time to share how Bronxville voted in the 2024 Presidential Election.
Below are the election results for the nation, Westchester and Bronxville, and some observations.

Popular Vote: 77.3 million votes (49.9%)

Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.
While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.
Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.
The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
