This media market spans the northern West Virginia panhandle and eastern Ohio, where decades of deindustrialization have driven some of the steepest Democratic-to-Republican vote shifts recorded in Appalachian media markets since 2008.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 39.9 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 45.6 points in 2024. Between 2020 and 2024 the market moved 3.1 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 45.6 points.
A population of 301,349, a 91% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $58,085 describe the market. The market's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Clarksburg-Weston and Charleston-Huntington.
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.
