Lubbock's metro consistently posts some of Texas's widest Republican margins, driven by a predominantly rural-adjacent economy and a university presence that has not tempered its conservative baseline the way college towns often do elsewhere.

Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 85.2 points in 1916 and a Republican high of 52.2 points in 2004. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 7.0 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 42.3 points.

A population of 358,708, a 51% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $63,691 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of San Angelo, TX and Waco, TX.

The metros whose fingerprint — 2000–2024 trajectory, demographics, ancestry, religion — sits closest to this one, and why.
