broad a brush...

here's an AI summary in response to the political leanings of such residents...
-----------------
AI Overview

Yes, New York City's Upper East Side (UES) residents include both Republicans and Democrats, although the neighborhood is predominantly Democratic in terms of voter registration. It is considered one of the most conservative-leaning areas of Manhattan, serving as a rare, concentrated base of Republican support within the city, particularly for local and mayoral races, while still voting Democratic in most federal elections.

Key political characteristics of the Upper East Side include:

Split Voting Patterns: Residents often exhibit "moderate" or "fiscally conservative" tendencies. They have historically supported Republican mayoral candidates like Rudy Giuliani, Michael Bloomberg (when he ran as a Republican), and Joe Lhota.

Political Concentration: The neighborhood is home to the Metropolitan Republican Club on East 84th Street.

"Top Donor" Status: The 10021 zip code on the UES has historically been one of the top locations in the country for political fundraising, often contributing heavily to Republican, as well as Democratic, presidential candidates.

Affluence and Demographics: As a highly affluent and largely white neighborhood, it attracts a more conservative demographic than other Manhattan neighborhoods, yet it still voted heavily for Democratic presidential candidates in 2016 and 2020.

Recent Trends:
2020/2022 Elections: While Democratic overall, the Upper East Side showed higher rates of Republican voting in 2020 (for Donald Trump) and 2022 (for Lee Zeldin) compared to other parts of Manhattan.

2021 Mayoral Race: The area actually swung more leftward in the 2021 mayoral election for Eric Adams.
While Democrats outnumber Republicans,
