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.
Florida's 9th congressional district, as drawn for the 2026 elections, takes in Osceola, Indian River, and Highlands counties and parts of Orange and Polk. About 769,600 people live within its 2026 boundaries, with a median age of 37.9. Measured on those boundaries, the district has voted Republican in every presidential election since 2012, by widening margins. The margin was R+1.5 in 2012, R+2.1 in 2016, R+6.8 in 2020, and R+17.7 in 2024.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 92.8 points in 1892 and a Republican high of 60.3 points in 1972. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 11.0 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 17.8 points.
A population of 769,609, a 45% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $75,396 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Congressional District 18 and Congressional District 14.
