Price County's roughly 15,800 residents are spread across forested townships in Wisconsin's north, and its presidential margins have shifted more than 30 points toward Republicans over the past two decades — a pattern common to rural timber-economy counties across the upper Midwest.

The Republican margin in Price County reached its widest at sixty-six points in 1904. The margin in 2024 was thirty-one points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.

Price County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $60,546, a 94% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 14,092 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 Chippewa County and Grant County.
