Anson County sits along the South Carolina border with a majority-Black population that has historically anchored Democratic performance, yet 2024's R+2.5 result signals a realignment still playing out in small, majority-minority rural counties statewide.
The Democratic margin in Anson County reached its widest at ninety points in 1932. The margin in 2024 was three points — a notable narrowing.
Anson County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $47,302, a 45% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 22,289 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 Hoke County and Scotland County.
