Odessa anchors the Midland-Odessa metro in the heart of the Permian Basin, where boom-and-bust oil economics shape both population swings and voting patterns — the area has backed Republican presidential nominees by margins exceeding 50 points in recent cycles.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 96.7 points in 1916 and a Republican high of 59.1 points in 1972. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 5.1 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 52.9 points.
A population of 164,654, a 29% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $71,536 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Hobbs, NM and Victoria, TX.
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.
