The Beaumont–Port Arthur media market anchors one of the country's densest petrochemical manufacturing zones, where union-rooted communities and a substantial Black electorate have historically produced Democratic margins even as the surrounding rural Southeast Texas counties trend Republican.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 78.4 points in 1936 and a Republican high of 41.0 points in 2024. Between 2020 and 2024 the market moved 6.9 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 41.0 points.
A population of 461,885, a 55% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $63,334 describe the market. The market's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Lake Charles and Alexandria, 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.
