Lamar County sits in the Pine Belt region south of Hattiesburg and has posted some of the state's steepest population gains over the past decade, driven largely by suburban spillover — a growth pattern that has so far reinforced rather than diluted its wide Republican margins.

A population of 65,713, a 71% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $70,909 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Autauga County and Rankin County.
