Venango County's Allegheny River corridor has shed roughly half its population since the mid-20th century, and Oil City anchors a district where working-class realignment has steadily widened Republican margins in statewide races over the past two decades.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 13.9 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 61.4 points in 1924. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 0.7 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 42.1 points.
A population of 49,801, a 93% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $61,522 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Meadville, PA and Somerset, PA.
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.
