The Elmira-Corning media market spans the hilly Southern Tier of New York, where post-industrial communities and a shrinking manufacturing base have driven some of the state's sharpest partisan swings over the past two decades.

Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 21.3 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 52.7 points in 1956. Between 2020 and 2024 the market moved 2.6 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 29.7 points.

A population of 233,242, a 90% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $65,083 describe the market. The market's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Johnstown-Altoona-State College and Clarksburg-Weston.

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.
