Taos County's electorate blends one of New Mexico's largest shares of Native American and Hispanic residents with an influx of artists and retirees, producing turnout patterns and margins that diverge sharply from the state's urban centers.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 64.8 points in 2008 and a Republican high of 29.9 points in 1920. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 7.3 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 47.5 points.
A population of 34,543, a 41% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $58,950 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Santa Fe, NM and Las Vegas, NM.
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.
