Franklin County's R+45.9 margin in 2024 reflects a decades-long realignment among working-class exurban voters once competitive in statewide races. Its position on the outer edge of the St. Louis metro makes it a benchmark for rural-suburban drift.

A population of 105,950, a 89% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $73,165 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Warren County and Clinton County.
