Napa County's electorate leans heavily Democratic despite its reputation for wealthy landowners and tourism-driven economics, delivering a 35-point presidential margin in 2024 that outpaces many California urban counties of comparable size.
The Democratic margin in Napa County reached its widest at forty-seven points in 1912. The margin in 2024 was thirty-five points — still decisive.
Napa County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $111,471, a 56% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 134,869 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 Clarke County and Montgomery County.
