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 R+23.3, this district sits well outside Virginia's competitive middle, reflecting a rural or exurban electorate that has moved consistently in one direction across recent cycles.

A population of 87,922, a 71% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $89,518 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of State House District 78 and State House District 16.
