Chesterfield County, anchored in the Richmond metro's southern suburbs, has tracked Virginia's broader suburban realignment — once reliably red, it now returns Democratic presidential margins that would have been unthinkable a decade ago.

The Democratic margin in Chesterfield County has rarely exceeded seventy-six points in modern history; the Republican margin has rarely exceeded seventy-two points. 2024 delivered the county to the Democratic candidate by nine points.

Chesterfield County's demographics resemble the country more than they resemble most counties. A 58% non-Hispanic-white share, a 7% poverty rate, and a median household income of $101,931 — all within the broad national range. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Kent County and Frederick County.
