Baldwin County's Gulf Coast growth has drawn retirees and transplants without softening its Republican lean — the 2024 presidential margin of R+58 ranks among the widest in Alabama.
The shift began with civil rights. 1964 marked the realignment in Baldwin County, by a eighty-one points margin. The Republican margin reached its widest at eighty-one points in 1964. The 2024 margin was fifty-eight points.
The political shift has tracked, in Baldwin County, the political shift of the South more broadly. A 82% non-Hispanic-white share, a median household income of $78,775, and a 10% poverty rate describe the demographic context. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Thomas County and Pickens County.
