Allen sits in the northern Dallas–Fort Worth exurban ring, where rapid population growth and an influx of college-educated residents have steadily compressed margins that once ran heavily one-sided in statewide races.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 1.2 points in 2020 and a Republican high of 45.7 points in 2004. Between 2020 and 2024 the city moved 5.8 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 4.6 points.
A population of 110,265, a 51% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $130,901 describe the city. The city's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Frisco and McKinney.
