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.
Covering a stretch of the inland desert and mountain communities east of Los Angeles, this district delivers presidential margins exceeding 30 points to the right — a sharp contrast to the coastal corridors that dominate statewide outcomes.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 23.5 points in 1912 and a Republican high of 69.2 points in 1928. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 5.4 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 15.0 points.
A population of 941,026, a 44% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $119,662 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of State Senate District 40 and State Senate District 12.
The state-senate 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.
