A fast-growing Atlanta exurb with rising educational attainment and a diversifying population, Fayette County has shifted from double-digit Republican presidential margins to single digits over the past two election cycles.

The shift began with civil rights. 1980 marked the realignment in Fayette County, by a twenty-four points margin. The Republican margin reached its widest at seventy-seven points in 1972. The 2024 margin was three points.

The political shift has tracked, in Fayette County, the political shift of the South more broadly. A 57% non-Hispanic-white share, a median household income of $111,978, and a 6% poverty rate describe the demographic context.
