Keene anchors southwestern New Hampshire's only mid-sized urban cluster, where a large student population at Keene State College consistently pulls turnout patterns away from the surrounding rural baseline.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 39.2 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 55.6 points in 1896. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 7.3 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 9.9 points.
A population of 77,297, a 91% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $83,329 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Lebanon-Claremont, NH-VT and Concord, NH.
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.
