A fast-growing coastal county wedged between Jacksonville and the Georgia line, Nassau delivered a nearly 47-point Republican presidential margin in 2024, reflecting a rural-exurban electorate that has trended sharply rightward over the past decade.
The shift began with civil rights. 1980 marked the realignment in Nassau County, by a three points margin. The Republican margin reached its widest at fifty-nine points in 1972. The 2024 margin was forty-seven points.
The political shift has tracked, in Nassau County, the political shift of the South more broadly. A 85% non-Hispanic-white share, a median household income of $89,804, and a 10% poverty rate describe the demographic context. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Lipscomb County and Gray County.
