A population of 1,445,168, a 21% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $100,808 describe the market. The market's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Las Vegas and Sacramento-Stockton-Modesto.

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.
