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.
Anchored in Ocean County's coastal and retirement communities, NJ-04 delivered a 30.2-point Republican presidential margin in 2024 — among the widest in the state — reflecting its older, white, non-urban demographic profile.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 21.8 points in 1912 and a Republican high of 50.8 points in 1956. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 7.7 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 30.2 points.
A population of 772,765, a 81% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $99,155 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Congressional District 23 and Congressional District 2.
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.
