Sitting at R+1.2 in 2024, this district captures a suburban corridor where demographic shifts and commuter-belt growth have steadily compressed margins that once leaned more decisively in one direction.

The 2008 election was the turning point, when the Democratic candidate carried the district by fifteen points. The 2024 margin was seventeen points, in line with the district's new direction.

The demographics suggest why. A population of 215,896, a 43% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $125,694 situate the district in the broader realignment patterns of recent cycles.
