Martinsville's metro has shed much of the textile and furniture industry that once defined it, leaving a labor force in transition and an electorate that has swung sharply toward Republican margins over the past two decades.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 58.6 points in 1936 and a Republican high of 52.4 points in 1972. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 4.0 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 22.7 points.
A population of 63,638, a 62% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $49,894 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Danville, VA and Eufaula, AL-GA.
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.
