Pocatello's Bannock County has trended more competitive than surrounding rural counties, a pattern common to university towns. ISU's enrollment of roughly 12,000 shapes both the local economy and the electorate's demographic profile.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 71.0 points in 1896 and a Republican high of 42.8 points in 1904. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 3.3 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 25.1 points.
A population of 89,454, a 80% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $66,499 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Logan, UT-ID and Ogden, UT.
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.
