Chattanooga's metro spans two states and has trended increasingly Republican at the federal level over the past two decades, even as in-migration and downtown revitalization have introduced a younger, more diverse electorate into Hamilton County's core.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 42.1 points in 1936 and a Republican high of 49.5 points in 1972. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 3.2 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 29.3 points.
A population of 575,812, a 76% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $72,439 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Knoxville, TN and Greenville-Anderson-Greer, SC.
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.
