State legislative officeholder from OpenStates nightly current-legislator data.
Spanning parts of Rutland and Bennington counties, this 4,000-resident district sits in Vermont's hilly southwest corner, where a modest Democratic lean in presidential voting coexists with the independent streak typical of rural New England.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 30.0 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 59.8 points in 1896. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 5.1 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 9.7 points.
A population of 4,024, a 93% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $71,758 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Bennington-Rutland State House District and Rutland-7 State House District.
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.
