Brooks County sits in Georgia's wiregrass region, where a declining population and an agricultural economy have pushed presidential margins steadily rightward over the past decade and a half.
The shift began with civil rights. 2000 marked the realignment in Brooks County, by a seven points margin. The Republican margin reached its widest at fifty-eight points in 1972. The 2024 margin was twenty-seven points.
The political shift has tracked, in Brooks County, the political shift of the South more broadly. A 56% non-Hispanic-white share, a median household income of $46,807, and a 25% poverty rate describe the demographic context. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Screven County and Pickens County.
