Spanning the entire Upper Peninsula and reaching into northern Wisconsin, the Marquette market covers a vast, sparsely populated stretch where outdoor-economy voters and a mid-sized university town create an unusually mixed rural electorate.

Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 37.1 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 68.9 points in 1904. Between 2020 and 2024 the market moved 2.9 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 16.7 points.

A population of 216,949, a 90% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $61,069 describe the market. The market's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Alpena and Binghamton.
