Texas-29 stretches through Houston's east side and inner suburbs, where a majority-Hispanic electorate and a strong labor presence in petrochemical industries have produced consistent double-digit Democratic margins in recent presidential cycles.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 48.3 points in 2016. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 12.9 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 30.4 points.
A population of 767,242, a 21% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $62,333 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Congressional District 33 and Congressional District 20.
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.
