This small northern Lower Peninsula county—anchored by agriculture, forestry, and a sparse rural population—delivered a 56-point Republican presidential margin in 2024, among the widest gaps recorded in the state.
The Republican margin in Missaukee County reached its widest at seventy-five points in 1928. The margin in 2024 was fifty-six points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.
Missaukee County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $66,194, a 92% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 15,207 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 Cameron County and Bradford County.
