Crawford County's history as a coal and zinc mining hub shaped a working-class Democratic tradition that eroded steadily over recent decades, leaving it now among the more Republican-leaning corners of the state's southeast corner.
The Republican margin in Crawford County reached its widest at fifty-seven points in 1892. The margin in 2024 was twenty-five points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.
Crawford County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $52,844, a 87% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 39,008 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 Montgomery County and Iron County.
