Ketchikan anchors the island-dotted Panhandle, where the commercial fishing industry and a heavy cruise-ship economy shape voter priorities more than the oil-patch concerns that dominate Interior Alaska politics.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 24.9 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 51.0 points in 2000. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 2.5 points toward the Democratic candidate; the 2024 margin was 18.4 points.
A population of 13,768, a 60% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $92,885 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Fairbanks-College, AK and Anchorage, AK.
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.
