Dewey County recorded an R+80.1 margin in 2024, placing it among the most one-sided counties in the state. Its sparse, ranching-dominated landscape and population of under 5,000 reflect a rural Great Plains demographic that has shifted heavily toward Republican candidates over recent cycles.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 57.2 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 81.0 points in 2020. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 0.8 points toward the Democratic candidate; the 2024 margin was 80.1 points.
A population of 4,360, a 81% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $62,569 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Grant County and Roger Mills County.
The counties whose fingerprint — 2000–2024 trajectory, demographics, ancestry, religion — sits closest to this one, and why.
Twin score (0–100) = weighted cosine between tier-standardized fingerprints: presidential margins 2000–2024 with 12-yr trend and elasticity, ACS income, age, education, population and race, top reported ancestries, and religious adherence — chips name the closest-shared dimensions and the widest gap.
