#2Interesting, and dead-on. The zip code it chose for me is the one that borders my current zip code to the west, and happens to be the same one the article's author mentions. #3 is the one I currently live in, and #4 is the last one I lived in.
also, in case anyone cares: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitol_Hill_(Seattle)

#3Small nit-pick: "Pro-gun" is not an ideology, it's a position that might flow from an ideology e.g. libertarianism, or might just be a stand-alone position.

#4Population density alone isn't a great measure of how "urban" an area is.
I got Lester, IA which apparently has an off the charts population density of 464,912 people per square mile! Total population is only 294 though...

#5Interesting. I got my current city as choice #2 for my state (Lookout Mountain, GA). My fiancee and I are considering moving to Greenville, which is my top result for SC.

Yeah. Tweaking "I prefer urban areas" (I like both), to "Agree" also go me within spitting distance of where I was born, raised, and have retired to.
GeoIP would not seem to be a strong component, for the "Don't Include" and "Disagree" options were a long ways away (both near the state capitol, in fact), although in my Purple state with two big cities there's really a lot of areas for everyone.

"Pro-gun" is an utterly reliable touchstone. Granted, it doesn't say if you're e.g. libertarian or paleoconservative, the two that are reliably pro-gun (I'm some of both), but it's a really really good marker.

#8As far as I can tell, California & Democrat = live in San Francisco. If I say "non-urban" it puts me... outside of San Francisco.

What's a 'paleoconservative'? (just curious)
