Blount County, a rural enclave northeast of Birmingham, recorded an R+80.9 presidential margin in 2024—among the widest in the state—reflecting a largely white, working-class electorate with deep roots in small-town and agricultural communities.

The shift began with civil rights. 1980 marked the realignment in Blount County, by a nine points margin. The Republican margin reached its widest at eighty-two points in 2016. The 2024 margin was eighty-one points.

The political shift has tracked, in Blount County, the political shift of the South more broadly. A 88% non-Hispanic-white share, a median household income of $64,190, and a 13% poverty rate describe the demographic context.
