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 of D+60.2, this Columbia-area district ranks among the state's most reliably Democratic seats, reflecting the dense urban and majority-minority demographics typical of heavily blue state legislative boundaries.

A population of 41,667, a 20% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $50,114 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of State House District 76 and State House District 61.
