• Men: 11,851 (48.71%)
• Gender not recorded: 408 (1.68%)

Women make up a little over half of voters in both San Diego County and the City of San Diego. Since "San Diego" could mean either, here are both (the city is part of the county):

San Diego County, CA: 1,929,290 registered voters

• Men: 910,970 (47.22%)

In both places, women outnumber men by about 3 percentage points. That's a wider gap than in Pacific Beach, where it was 49.6% women to 48.7% men.

Yes, Pacific Beach has noticeably more young women. Among voters aged 18–29, women make up 55.1% in Pacific Beach compared with 51.0% across San Diego County. That works out to 2,808 women and 2,290 men, so there are about 518 more women than men in that age group.

The figures below compare women and men only; voters with no recorded gender are left out.

• 18–29: This is where Pacific Beach most clearly leans female, about 4 points above the county.
• 30–44: Pacific Beach is roughly even and slightly more male, while the county leans a little female.
• 45–64: The pattern flips. Pacific Beach is clearly male-leaning at 54.3% men (3,033 men to 2,550 women), while the county is 51.3% women.
• 65+: Both lean female, as you'd expect from longer female life expectancy, but Pacific Beach a little less so.

Overall, Pacific Beach's near 50/50 split hides two opposite patterns: more women among voters under 30 and more men among those aged 45–64. San Diego County leans slightly female in every age group.

Pacific Beach isn't unusual: it belongs to a group of central, urban neighborhoods where women outnumber men among voters under 30 and men outnumber women in middle age. I compared the 43 community areas in San Diego County that each have at least 10,000 male and female voters. As before, the percentages are women's share of male and female voters only.

Patterns

• Urban core and beach areas look like Pacific Beach. North Park, Normal Heights, Middletown, Hillcrest, Downtown and Ocean Beach all have more women among voters under 30 and more men at ages 45–64. Pacific Beach ranks 6th for share of young women, so it's high but not the highest.
• Hillcrest and Downtown stand out for men in middle age. Hillcrest is only 38.5% women at ages 45–64 and 45.7% at 65+. Downtown is 43–47% women in every age group over 30. They are the only large communities where men outnumber women among voters 65+.
• University N is a different case. It has many young women (58.0%), probably because of UCSD, but it leans female at older ages too, with 57.7% women at 65+.
• Suburban and inland areas follow the typical pattern. Rancho Peñasquitos, Mira Mesa, Rancho Bernardo, Alpine, Lakeside and Ramona are slightly male or even among 18–29s (46–49% women) and become more female with age. Rancho Bernardo reaches 58.3% women at 65+, the highest in the group.
