U.S. House
Each result reflects the U.S. House district as it was drawn for that election; redistricting has redrawn these lines over time, so they can differ from the current 120th-Congress district shown on the map above.
California's 7th congressional district, as drawn for the 2026 elections, centers on the Sacramento area and reaches into the northern San Joaquin Valley, drawing from San Joaquin, El Dorado, and Sacramento counties. About 758,600 people live within its 2026 boundaries, with a median age of 38. Measured on those boundaries, the district has voted Democratic in every presidential election since 2012. The margin was D+14.2 in 2012, D+18.6 in 2016, and D+19.7 in 2020, then D+12.9 in 2024.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 60.0 points in 1912 and a Republican high of 31.9 points in 1924. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 6.8 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 12.9 points.
A population of 758,555, a 40% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $93,979 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Congressional District 28 and Congressional District 6.
The congressional districts 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.
