Hickory County's R+61.1 margin in 2024 places it among the most Republican-leaning rural counties in the state, a pattern consistent with the broader depopulation and political realignment reshaping the Ozarks fringe over the past two decades.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 16.5 points in 1992 and a Republican high of 69.5 points in 1928. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 3.8 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 61.1 points.
A population of 8,585, a 93% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $39,390 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Lincoln County and Lawrence County.
