Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 45.8 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 40.5 points in 1980. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 4.8 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 5.7 points.
A population of 74,248, a 57% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $108,509 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Assembly District 21 and Assembly District 22.
