Place narrative
Ridgway sits at the gateway to the San Juan Mountains, and an influx of amenity migrants over the past two decades has steadily shifted its electorate away from the ranching-era patterns that once defined Ouray County.

Third-party votes in 2012 are allocated from certified county totals by this place's share of each county's two-party vote — that cycle's precinct source records two-party splits.
These Census-place returns are modeled candidate-vote estimates on Census boundaries unless a row explicitly says certified. They are not automatically the official city or town return.
† 2004 sub-county results are estimated: the source reported that cycle at county or municipality level (COVID-era consolidated reporting), so block-level detail is interpolated from adjacent cycles and scaled to certified totals.
