Floyd County sits directly across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky, giving it a suburban character rare in southern Indiana. Once a swing county, it has moved toward double-digit Republican margins in recent presidential cycles.
The Republican margin in Floyd County reached its widest at twenty points in 2016. The margin in 2024 was fifteen points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.
Floyd County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $79,704, a 86% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 80,918 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 Lancaster County and Sierra County.
