Appling County, anchored by the small city of Baxley in southeastern Georgia, has delivered lopsided Republican presidential margins for decades, reflecting the deep-red lean typical of the state's timber-belt counties with aging, majority-white rural populations.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 80.8 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 68.7 points in 1972. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 5.5 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 62.4 points.
A population of 18,493, a 68% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $46,651 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Jeff Davis County and West Carroll Parish.
