Brown County's R+61.5 margin in 2024 places it among the most lopsided presidential results in Ohio, reflecting a rural Appalachian-edge electorate that has shifted decisively away from its historically Democratic roots over the past two decades.

The Republican margin in Brown County reached its widest at sixty-one points in 2024. The margin in 2024 was sixty-one points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.

Brown County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $71,270, a 95% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 43,845 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 Adams County and Washington County.
