With a 52.9-point Republican presidential margin, this western or rural district ranks among the state's most one-sided constituencies, reflecting the deep geographic sorting that has made many non-urban North Carolina districts reliably predictable at the top of the ticket.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 49.1 points in 1912 and a Republican high of 53.2 points in 2016. The 2024 margin was 52.9 points.
A population of 89,118, a 73% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $58,436 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of State House District 80 and State House District 77.
