Tucked into Maryland's Eastern Shore, Caroline County delivers presidential margins rarely seen in a state that trends heavily Democratic statewide — the 2024 gap exceeded 37 points, reflecting a rural, working-class electorate sharply out of step with the Baltimore-Washington corridor.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 60.7 points in 1912 and a Republican high of 46.4 points in 1972. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 5.1 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 37.9 points.
A population of 33,669, a 73% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $68,457 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Clinton County and Miami County.
