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.
Spanning the vast wheat-belt plains of western and central Kansas, this sprawling district delivers some of the widest presidential margins in the country, anchored by rural agricultural communities where Republican support has deepened for decades.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 21.5 points in 1912 and a Republican high of 50.8 points in 1952. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 1.2 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 31.3 points.
A population of 733,610, a 75% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $66,270 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Congressional District 4 and Congressional District 13.
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.
