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 D+80.1, this district ranks among the most lopsided in the state, reflecting a dense, heavily urban electorate where competitive general elections are effectively nonexistent.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 89.6 points in 2012. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 7.1 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 80.1 points.
A population of 135,172, a 5% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $100,710 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of State Senate District 25 and State Senate District 26.
