U.S. House
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.
With a 47.0-point Republican presidential margin, this rural district ranks among the most reliably one-sided constituencies in the state, leaving little competitive ground for either major party to contest.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 97.6 points in 1916 and a Republican high of 91.9 points in 1964. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 0.6 points toward the Democratic candidate; the 2024 margin was 47.0 points.
A population of 25,408, a 76% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $96,010 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of State House District 59 and State House District 45.
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.
