Beaumont-Port Arthur's heavy concentration of petrochemical and port workers, alongside a majority-minority population, has produced consistent Democratic margins above 40 points in recent presidential cycles — unusual loyalty given the region's energy-sector economic base.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 77.5 points in 1936 and a Republican high of 35.3 points in 2024. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 7.1 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 35.3 points.
A population of 396,827, a 52% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $64,915 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Lake Charles, LA and Morgan City, LA.
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.
