Cross County sits in Arkansas's Mississippi Delta lowlands, where a majority-Black population and declining rural economy combine to produce one of the state's more complex demographic backdrops despite the lopsided 2024 presidential margin.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 91.5 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 49.0 points in 1972. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 1.9 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 47.6 points.
A population of 16,543, a 72% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $50,863 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Prairie County and Avoyelles Parish.
