Once a marginal swing county, Orange has moved consistently toward Republican presidential candidates since 2004, driven partly by an influx of transplants from New York City's suburbs and a large Orthodox Jewish community concentrated around Kiryas Joel.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 22.3 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 55.1 points in 1956. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 8.3 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 8.4 points.
A population of 406,616, a 58% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $97,178 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Warren County and Essex County.
