Florence anchors South Carolina's northeastern corridor, where a historically rural electorate has trended toward double-digit Republican margins at the federal level while the McLeod Health complex reshapes the area's workforce and demographic profile.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 99.4 points in 1936 and a Republican high of 36.3 points in 1972. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 6.6 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 9.8 points.
A population of 199,675, a 50% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $55,258 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Macon-Bibb County, GA and Albany, GA.
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.
