Home to Fort Cavazos (formerly Fort Hood), one of the largest U.S. military installations in the world, Coryell County combines a transient military population with a rural conservative base that has delivered Republican presidential margins above 35 points for over a decade.
The unraveling was not abrupt. The Democratic margin in Coryell County peaked at eighty-nine points in 1932; it narrowed steadily over the late twentieth century. The 1980 election delivered the county to the Republican party for the first time in many years, by a margin of fourteen points. By 2024, the margin had widened further.
The economic and demographic context is severe. The median household income of $71,301 is among the lowest at this geographic scale; 11% of residents live below the federal poverty line. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Nacogdoches County and Elko County.
