The Jackson metro straddles Wyoming and Idaho along the Teton Range, blending a wealthy, amenity-driven Wyoming county that leans Democratic with more rural Idaho territory that tilts reliably Republican — producing a split political profile unusual for a mountain-West resort area.

The 2004 election was the turning point, when the Democratic candidate carried the metro by zero points. The 2024 margin was twenty-five points, in line with the metro's new direction.

The demographics suggest why. A population of 35,821, a 79% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $115,720 situate the metro in the broader realignment patterns of recent cycles.
