Forney has nearly tripled in population since 2010, driven by spillover growth from the Dallas metro. That rapid in-migration is shifting the demographic and partisan composition of a county that has historically voted reliably in one direction.
Across the recorded series it reached a Republican high of 51.4 points in 2004. Between 2020 and 2024 the city moved 5.3 points toward the Democratic candidate; the 2024 margin was 20.2 points.
A population of 31,532, a 60% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $104,112 describe the city. The city's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Waxahachie and Midlothian.
