District 83 recorded an R+10.8 presidential margin in 2024, placing it among the most heavily one-sided state house districts in Oklahoma. Its roughly 40,000 residents leave little competitive ground for statewide or legislative contests.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 15.5 points in 1936 and a Republican high of 66.0 points in 1972. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 0.7 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 10.8 points.
A population of 39,885, a 63% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $85,384 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of State House District 47 and State House District 96.
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.
