Each row is a county-allocated estimate of U.S. House votes for this district — county returns apportioned onto its boundary, not precinct-counted. “Vote lead” is the estimated local lead here, not necessarily the winner of the full contest.
District 116 recorded a 34.4-point Republican presidential margin in 2024, placing it among the state's most reliably one-sided legislative constituencies. Its voting patterns reflect a heavily Republican rural or exurban base with little recent competitive history.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 4.6 points in 2016 and a Republican high of 34.4 points in 2024. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 17.9 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 34.4 points.
A population of 182,984, a 9% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $71,658 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of State House District 112 and State House District 110.
The state-house districts 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.
