Kings County, coextensive with Brooklyn, delivers Democratic presidential margins above 40 points, fueled by one of the most ethnically and linguistically diverse urban populations anywhere in the United States.
The Democratic margin in Kings County reached its widest at sixty-five points in 2012. The margin in 2024 was forty-three points — still decisive.
Kings County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $80,263, a 38% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 2,631,580 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 Bronx County and Sumter County.
