Live Oak County, a rural stretch of ranchland south of San Antonio, delivered nearly 85% of its presidential vote to the Republican column in 2024, placing it among the state's most one-sided counties by margin.

The Democratic margin in Live Oak County peaked at eighty points in 1932. By 1980 the county had flipped, voting Republican for the first time in many years. The 2024 margin was seventy points, the most Republican-leaning result in the county's modern history.

The economic context is the key. Live Oak County's median household income of $57,150 sits well below state and national norms, and 17% of residents live below the federal poverty line. The shift here is part of a broader realignment of working-class places across the country. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Jackson County and Howard County.
