With fewer than 800 residents spread across the San Juan Mountains, Hinsdale routinely delivers some of the state's most lopsided margins simply because its electorate is so small that a few dozen votes can swing the percentage sharply.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 93.8 points in 1896 and a Republican high of 57.7 points in 1972. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 3.2 points toward the Democratic candidate; the 2024 margin was 12.4 points.
A population of 1,005, a 87% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $75,972 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Archuleta County and Keweenaw County.
