The Dothan media market anchors the Wiregrass region of southeastern Alabama, a peanut-farming corridor where Republican presidential candidates have routinely posted margins exceeding 40 points over the past decade.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 90.1 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 81.1 points in 1964. Between 2020 and 2024 the market moved 5.3 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 52.3 points.
A population of 267,796, a 66% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $59,261 describe the market. The market's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Tyler-Longview (Lufkin & Nacogdoches) and Wichita Falls & Lawton.
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.
