Salem anchors a compact industrial corridor in Columbiana County, a consistently Republican-leaning corner of eastern Ohio where deindustrialization and blue-collar identity have driven some of the state's sharpest partisan swings over the past two decades.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 28.9 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 55.5 points in 1928. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 4.1 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 49.0 points.
A population of 100,704, a 92% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $58,180 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Cambridge, OH and Weirton-Steubenville, WV-OH.
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.
