Delegate District 62 recorded an R+63.4 presidential margin in 2024, placing it among the state's most heavily one-sided districts. Its small population of roughly 17,000 reflects the rural, sparsely settled character common to much of southern West Virginia.
Across the recorded series it reached a Republican high of 63.4 points in 2024. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 2.8 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 63.4 points.
A population of 17,076, a 96% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $44,206 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Delegate District 15 and Delegate District 18.
