Iosco sits along Lake Huron's Sunrise Side, where a tourism economy and an aging, predominantly white population have tracked alongside a steady rightward shift in presidential margins over the past two decades.
The Republican margin in Iosco County reached its widest at fifty-nine points in 1924. The margin in 2024 was thirty-one points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.
Iosco County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $50,066, a 92% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 25,347 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 Roscommon County and St. Clair County.
