Texas-22 stretches from the Fort Bend County exurbs through Brazoria County, a corridor where rapid demographic diversification has compressed the Republican margin from double digits to single digits over the past decade.
Across the recorded series it reached a Republican high of 41.4 points in 2012. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 4.8 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 22.1 points.
A population of 767,514, a 49% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $101,504 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Congressional District 3 and Congressional District 7.
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.
