Cleveland anchors Bradley County in the southeastern corner of Tennessee, where a manufacturing base and proximity to Chattanooga have drawn younger working families into a historically heavily Republican voting landscape that has held consistent double-digit Republican margins.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 34.4 points in 1944 and a Republican high of 60.3 points in 2024. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 3.7 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 60.3 points.
A population of 128,963, a 82% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $65,993 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Sevierville, TN and Duncan, OK.
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.
