Place narrative
Herington once thrived as a Rock Island Railroad division hub, and its current population of roughly 2,100 reflects decades of rural depopulation common across central Kansas. The city sits in a reliably Republican-leaning county with low voter turnover in state contests.

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.
