A population of 179,442, a 64% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $73,953 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of State Senate District 11 and State Senate District 43.

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.
