Henderson anchors Vance County, one of North Carolina's majority-Black rural counties, where turnout swings and candidate margins have made it a recurring data point in statewide legislative targeting models.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 87.0 points in 1936 and a Republican high of 34.7 points in 1972. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 5.9 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 13.3 points.
A population of 42,322, a 37% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $50,465 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Selma, AL and Cleveland, MS.
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.
