Amarillo anchors the Texas Panhandle, a high-plains energy and agriculture economy where voter registration and turnout patterns track closely with rural commodity cycles and evangelical church density, making it one of the most reliably one-sided metros in the state.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 77.1 points in 1936 and a Republican high of 61.0 points in 2012. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 3.1 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 56.6 points.
A population of 271,917, a 57% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $70,728 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Abilene, TX and Wichita Falls, TX.
The metros whose fingerprint — 2000–2024 trajectory, demographics, ancestry, religion — sits closest to this one, and why.
Twin score (0–100) = weighted cosine between tier-standardized fingerprints: presidential margins 2000–2024 with 12-yr trend and elasticity, ACS income, age, education, population and race, top reported ancestries, and religious adherence — chips name the closest-shared dimensions and the widest gap.
