With fewer than 400 residents, King County recorded one of the widest presidential margins in the country in 2024, reflecting the deeply rural, ranching character of the Rolling Plains region where Democratic votes are a rare exception.

A population of 211, a 69% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $46,645 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Roger Mills County and Mills County.
