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 2024 presidential margin exceeding 50 points, this western or rural district ranks among the state's least competitive, where turnout patterns and candidate recruitment reflect a deeply lopsided partisan baseline.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 75.5 points in 1936 and a Republican high of 21.7 points in 1928. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 0.9 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 68.3 points.
A population of 90,900, a 48% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $92,264 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of State House District 30 and State Legislative District 46.
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.
