Putnam's heavily rural character and modest population of roughly 70,000 have made it among Florida's most consistently one-sided presidential counties, with the 2024 margin reaching nearly 48 points — a figure that reflects broader small-county realignment statewide.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 55.1 points in 1940 and a Republican high of 49.8 points in 1972. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 6.6 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 47.8 points.
A population of 75,164, a 69% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $47,934 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Coosa County and Meigs County.
