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.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 75.6 points in 1912 and a Republican high of 72.2 points in 1972. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 2.3 points toward the Democratic candidate; the 2024 margin was 8.9 points.
A population of 377,869, a 56% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $101,931 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Kent County and Frederick County.
