The San Angelo media market covers a vast stretch of the Edwards Plateau and Permian Basin fringe, where sparse population and an economy rooted in ranching, oil, and military presence at Goodfellow AFB produce some of Texas's most reliably lopsided congressional margins.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 79.3 points in 1916 and a Republican high of 54.1 points in 2024. Between 2020 and 2024 the market moved 3.5 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 54.1 points.
A population of 151,473, a 53% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $67,619 describe the market. The market's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Amarillo and Abilene-Sweetwater.
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.
