Across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans, St. Tammany has absorbed decades of suburban migration and now returns presidential margins exceeding 40 points, making it one of the most reliably one-sided large counties in the Deep South.
The shift began with civil rights. 1968 marked the realignment in St. Tammany Parish, by a two points margin. The Republican margin reached its widest at fifty-five points in 1972. The 2024 margin was forty-four points.
The political shift has tracked, in St. Tammany Parish, the political shift of the South more broadly. A 74% non-Hispanic-white share, a median household income of $81,202, and a 11% poverty rate describe the demographic context. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Canadian County and Autauga County.
