Alpine County sits in the Sierra Nevada with fewer than 1,500 residents, yet it has posted Democratic presidential margins exceeding 30 points — a lopsided result driven by a small, cohesive electorate in one of the most sparsely settled jurisdictions in the continental U.S.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 42.5 points in 1912 and a Republican high of 88.5 points in 1928. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 0.9 points toward the Democratic candidate; the 2024 margin was 32.0 points.
A population of 1,616, a 57% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $105,521 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Mecklenburg County and Marion County.
