North Carolina Senate District 37 delivered a 12.4-point Democratic margin in 2024, reflecting the dense urban and majority-minority constituencies that define its electorate and separate it sharply from the state's competitive suburban corridors.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 53.8 points in 1912 and a Republican high of 54.2 points in 1972. The 2024 margin was 26.6 points.
A population of 219,210, a 75% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $86,317 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of State Senate District 17 and State Senate District 15.
