Danville's metro has shed roughly a third of its population since the 1980s as manufacturing employment declined, producing a voter base that swings sharply with economic sentiment and consistently posts higher turnout than comparably sized downstate Illinois markets.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 20.6 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 45.1 points in 1904. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 2.7 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 35.6 points.
A population of 72,386, a 77% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $56,877 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Alma, MI and Terre Haute, IN.
