Home to Fort Worth and a fast-growing suburban population, Tarrant County has narrowed its Republican presidential margin from double digits a decade ago to 5.1 points in 2024, reflecting demographic shifts common to large Texas metros.

The county's recent history is a story of close margins. The Democratic margin reached seventy-seven points in 1936; the Republican margin reached thirty-eight points in 1928. Most other elections have been decided by single-digit points.

Tarrant County's demographics — a population of 2,167,390, a 48% non-Hispanic-white share, a median household income of $84,207 — situate the county close to national averages on several dimensions. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Denton County and Placer County.
