Ada County anchors Idaho's Treasure Valley and has grown rapidly through in-migration, yet its 2024 presidential margin of R+10.3 suggests that newcomer growth has not flipped its partisan lean the way similar Sun Belt metros have.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 28.2 points in 1896 and a Republican high of 47.0 points in 1904. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 6.4 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 10.3 points.
A population of 518,935, a 81% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $91,502 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Fluvanna County and Alamance County.
