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.

The Democratic margin in Alpine County reached its widest at forty-three points in 1912. The margin in 2024 was thirty-two points — still decisive.

Alpine County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $105,521, a 61% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 1,616 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 Marion County and Franklin County.
