Home to the University of Southern Mississippi and William Carey University, Hattiesburg's metro tilts more educated and younger than much of the state, producing competitive margins in municipal races even as federal contests trend heavily in one direction.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 88.6 points in 1940 and a Republican high of 78.5 points in 1964. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 5.4 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 35.7 points.
A population of 155,434, a 64% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $60,646 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Laurel, MS and Lynchburg, VA.
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.
