Pike County sits in Alabama's wiregrass region with a population under 30,000, split between the small city of Troy and surrounding farmland. Its presidential margins have trended steadily Republican over the past two decades despite a significant Black population share.

The shift began with civil rights. 1980 marked the realignment in Pike County, by a eight points margin. The Republican margin reached its widest at eighty-four points in 1964. The 2024 margin was twenty-five points.

The political shift has tracked, in Pike County, the political shift of the South more broadly. A 56% non-Hispanic-white share, a median household income of $48,677, and a 23% poverty rate describe the demographic context. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Hardin County and Comanche County.
