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.
Kansas's 2nd stretches from Topeka and Lawrence east to the Missouri border, blending a major public university town with deep rural agricultural counties that have delivered Republican presidential margins above 15 points in recent cycles.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 13.6 points in 1912 and a Republican high of 50.1 points in 1892. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 3.3 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 19.7 points.
A population of 733,593, a 70% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $65,594 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Congressional District 9 and Congressional District 4.
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.
