Newsweek - Europe:
Brexit: The characteristics of areas that voted leave in EU Referendum
7 July 2016
This article reports the result of an exercise in which the vote share for Leave in the 380 areas of England, Wales and Scotland are regressed on a variety of area characteristics largely drawn from the census for 2011 and earlier decades. These characteristics are for the population as a whole - not for those eligible to vote (British citizens), registered to vote and actual voters in the referendum. Nevertheless the variables we use can explain 90 percent of the variation in the vote share across areas.
