St. Helena Parish, a sparsely populated piney-woods community northeast of Baton Rouge, defied Louisiana's broader Republican tilt in 2024, producing a margin under a single percentage point — a rarity in a state that otherwise moved decisively.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 94.7 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 30.3 points in 1964. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 9.5 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 0.8 points.
A population of 10,858, a 45% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $41,934 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Lee County and Clay County.
