Utica's media market stretches across a post-industrial corridor where refugee resettlement has quietly diversified formerly homogeneous communities, contributing to shifting margins in state and federal races over the past decade.

Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 30.0 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 42.6 points in 1956. Between 2020 and 2024 the market moved 5.1 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 21.6 points.

A population of 348,989, a 82% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $69,655 describe the market. The market's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Wilkes-Barre-Scranton-Hazleton and Binghamton.

The media markets whose fingerprint — 2000–2024 trajectory, demographics, ancestry, religion — sits closest to this one, and why.

Twin score (0–100) = weighted cosine between tier-standardized fingerprints: presidential margins 2000–2024 with 12-yr trend and elasticity, ACS income, age, education, population and race, top reported ancestries, and religious adherence — chips name the closest-shared dimensions and the widest gap. Re-weight the groups in the twins explorer.
