Jonesboro anchors Craighead County, one of the fastest-growing metros in Arkansas, where Arkansas State University's enrollment shapes both the local economy and a younger voter cohort that modestly offsets the area's otherwise reliably Republican margins.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 81.1 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 41.6 points in 2024. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 2.2 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 41.6 points.
A population of 135,792, a 73% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $57,416 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Batesville, AR and Paragould, AR.
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.
