Centered on downtown Las Vegas and its densest neighborhoods, NV-01 delivered a 15.5-point Democratic margin in 2024, reflecting a majority-minority electorate with large Latino and Black voting-age populations.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 63.0 points in 1936 and a Republican high of 30.1 points in 1980. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 6.3 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 2.2 points.
A population of 773,600, a 40% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $69,532 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Congressional District 4 and Congressional District 33.
