Starr County, the core of this Rio Grande metro, is over 95% Hispanic yet delivered a Republican presidential margin for the first time in decades in 2020, signaling a realignment that analysts across the spectrum are still working to explain.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 94.1 points in 1924 and a Republican high of 16.0 points in 2024. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 21.0 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 16.0 points.
A population of 66,067, a 2% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $37,639 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Zapata, TX and Eagle Pass, 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.
