With a 2024 presidential margin of R+47.1, this district sits well outside competitive territory, reflecting the heavily Republican rural or exurban composition typical of Tennessee's most one-sided state house seats.

A population of 72,506, a 80% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $83,081 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of State House District 19 and State House District 16.
