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+16.6, Assembly District 55 sits well to the right of Wisconsin's famously narrow statewide battleground, reflecting the rural, small-town character typical of the state's western interior.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 16.8 points in 1912 and a Republican high of 60.8 points in 1920. The 2024 margin was 16.6 points.
A population of 59,931, a 89% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $92,372 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Assembly District 3 and Assembly District 27.
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.
