Eagle County's economy revolves around Vail and Beaver Creek, drawing a wealthy, transplant-heavy workforce whose presidential preferences have leaned Democratic by double digits for over two decades.

The Democratic margin in Eagle County reached its widest at ninety-one points in 1896. The margin in 2024 was twenty-four points — still decisive.

Eagle County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $104,096, a 65% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 55,135 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 Monroe County and Bernalillo County.
