Chicot County, hugging the Mississippi River at Arkansas's southern tip, returned a Democratic margin in 2024 even as most of the state moved sharply the other way — a pattern rooted in its majority-Black population and Delta agricultural economy.
The Democratic margin in Chicot County reached its widest at eighty-nine points in 1932. The margin in 2024 was four points — still decisive.
Chicot County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $39,045, a 40% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 9,765 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 St. Francis County and Clay County.
