Once reliably Democratic thanks to union households and Northeastern transplants, Monroe County flipped to a slim Republican margin in 2024 — a swing that tracks its transition from a blue-collar bedroom community to a more politically mixed exurban destination.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 55.8 points in 1912 and a Republican high of 39.1 points in 1928. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 7.1 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 0.8 points.
A population of 167,515, a 60% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $83,565 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Washoe County and DeKalb County.
