The Syracuse media market spans a swath of central New York where presidential margins have tightened cycle over cycle, blending a mid-size Democratic-leaning urban core with rural and small-city counties that have shifted sharply toward Republicans since 2008.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 32.7 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 49.5 points in 1956. Between 2020 and 2024 the market moved 2.8 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 8.5 points.
A population of 915,215, a 80% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $74,114 describe the market. The market's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Albany-Schenectady-Troy and Providence-New Bedford.
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.
