Despite its small population and largely rural character, Orange County has delivered Democratic presidential margins exceeding 20 points in recent cycles, bucking the national pattern of rural drift toward Republicans.

The Democratic margin in Orange County reached its widest at thirty-two points in 2012. The margin in 2024 was twenty points — still decisive.

Orange County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $82,232, a 93% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 29,761 together describe a community whose political habits are deeply settled. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Bennington County and Knox County.
