Colorado SD-22 sits in the exurban corridor where suburban density gives way to rural plains, producing double-digit Republican presidential margins that have widened as the district's growth draws relocating residents away from the metro core.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 89.8 points in 1896 and a Republican high of 35.1 points in 1924. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 1.5 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 32.9 points.
A population of 162,063, a 66% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $87,395 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of State Senate District 26 and State Senate District 17.
