The New Orleans DMA stretches from dense urban precincts that vote Democratic by wide margins to rural parishes along the Gulf Coast that trend sharply Republican, making it one of the more internally polarized media markets in the Deep South.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 86.9 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 36.9 points in 1972. Between 2020 and 2024 the market moved 2.9 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 12.3 points.
A population of 1,742,004, a 54% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $65,017 describe the market. The market's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Baton Rouge and Lafayette, LA.
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.
