Nome Census Area's electorate is majority Alaska Native, and that demographic weight consistently pulls its presidential margins toward Democrats by high single digits despite the area's geographic and economic isolation along the Bering Sea coast.
The Democratic margin in Nome Census Area reached its widest at fifty-three points in 1964. The margin in 2024 was nine points — still decisive.
Nome Census Area's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $78,681, a 14% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 9,866 together describe a community whose political habits are deeply settled. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Kusilvak Census Area and Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area.
