DemocraticRepublican

The Denver DMA anchors Colorado's political center of gravity, blending a reliably Democratic urban core with fast-growing collar counties — Jefferson, Arapahoe, and Douglas — that have shifted measurably toward competitive territory over the past decade.

Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 69.1 points in 1896 and a Republican high of 39.4 points in 1892. Between 2020 and 2024 the market moved 3.0 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 15.6 points.

A population of 4,705,362, a 65% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $101,183 describe the market. The market's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Austin and Portland, OR.

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.
