Titus County's economy has long centered on agriculture, lignite coal, and a steel mill that makes it an outlier in rural Texas manufacturing. That blue-collar industrial base coexists with presidential margins that have grown steadily more Republican over the past two decades.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 94.1 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 54.7 points in 2024. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 10.0 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 54.7 points.
A population of 31,363, a 42% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $58,425 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Wharton County and Cochran County.
