A rural Gulf Coast county with a heavily white, older-than-average population, Citrus backed the Republican presidential nominee by nearly 46 points in 2024—among the widest margins of any Florida county.

The Democratic margin in Citrus County peaked at eighty-nine points in 1900. By 2000 the county had flipped, voting Republican for the first time in many years. The 2024 margin was forty-six points, the most Republican-leaning result in the county's modern history.

The economic context is the key. Citrus County's median household income of $56,546 sits well below state and national norms, and 16% of residents live below the federal poverty line. The shift here is part of a broader realignment of working-class places across the country. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Alcona County and Wakulla County.
