Once a Democratic stronghold anchored by union households, the Johnstown metro has swung sharply toward Republicans over the past two decades as manufacturing employment collapsed and the electorate's cultural priorities shifted.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 35.4 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 41.2 points in 1920. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 2.3 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 39.7 points.
A population of 131,538, a 90% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $58,418 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Pottsville, PA and St. Marys, PA.
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.
