Frederick's population has grown roughly 20% since 2010, driven by spillover from the D.C. metro corridor, and that demographic churn has steadily eroded the Republican margins that once made it reliably red in statewide contests.

The Democratic margin in Frederick County has rarely exceeded 100 points in modern history; the Republican margin has rarely exceeded 100 points. 2024 delivered the county to the Democratic candidate by nine points.
