Henry County has swung dramatically toward Democrats over the past decade as Atlanta's southeastern suburbs diversified, flipping from a reliably Republican exurb to a county carried by nearly 30 points in 2024.

The county's recent history is a story of close margins. The Democratic margin reached 100 points in 1920; the Republican margin reached fifty-six points in 1972. Most other elections have been decided by single-digit points.

Henry County's demographics — a population of 249,960, a 34% non-Hispanic-white share, a median household income of $83,146 — situate the county close to national averages on several dimensions. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Gwinnett County and Frederick County.
