Valley County's sparse Hi-Line ranching economy anchors one of Montana's most Republican-leaning electorates, with the 2024 presidential margin exceeding 50 points in a county of fewer than 8,000 residents.
The county has voted both ways in living memory. The Democratic margin peaked at sixty-nine points in 1936; the Republican margin peaked at fifty-one points in 2024. The 2024 margin of fifty-one points fits the pattern of swing.
Valley County's demographics — a population of 7,519, a 85% non-Hispanic-white share, a median household income of $71,695 — describe a Western place. The county shares the Western pattern of independence with Florence County and Mason County.
