Somerset County anchors a largely rural, coal-and-timber economy where white working-class voters have driven some of Pennsylvania's steepest partisan swings over the past three election cycles.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 9.5 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 59.1 points in 1924. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 1.0 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 57.2 points.
A population of 72,799, a 93% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $61,446 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Huntingdon, PA and Altoona, 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.
