Home to Travis Air Force Base, Solano County blends a sizable active-duty and veteran population with expanding exurban communities, yet still returned a Democratic presidential margin of 23 points in 2024.

The Democratic margin in Solano County reached its widest at fifty-seven points in 1936. The margin in 2024 was twenty-three points — still decisive.

Solano County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $100,401, a 39% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 451,918 together describe a community whose political habits are deeply settled. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Los Angeles County and Norfolk city.
