The metro's political profile is pulled in two directions: a large public university population concentrated in College Station and a more rural, older electorate in surrounding Brazos County, producing margins that can shift noticeably with student registration cycles.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 92.3 points in 1936 and a Republican high of 37.7 points in 1984. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 10.1 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 30.1 points.
A population of 278,335, a 54% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $60,172 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Lubbock, TX and Waco, 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.
