Iowa County sits in a stretch of small agricultural communities where population has drifted downward for decades, a pattern that correlates strongly with the lopsided presidential margins the county has recorded in recent elections.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 23.3 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 41.1 points in 1920. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 2.4 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 27.7 points.
A population of 16,507, a 93% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $71,223 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Marshall County and Franklin County.
