What's the distinction? I always assumed "blue states" meant a majority of voters in that state voted blue, likewise for red states. Otherwise you might as well say "there's no blue cities, only blue neighbourhoods" and keep getting more granular down to the individual voter.

The distinction is that cities are blue and non-cities aren't, as a rule. "Blue states" are just states where the majority of the population lives in cities.
