Home to Indiana University's main campus in Bloomington, Monroe County posts Democratic presidential margins that stand well outside Indiana's statewide norm, reflecting the outsized electoral influence of a large college-town population.
The Democratic margin in Monroe County reached its widest at thirty-two points in 2008. The margin in 2024 was twenty-seven points — still decisive.
Monroe County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $65,868, a 82% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 140,965 together describe a community whose political habits are deeply settled. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Eagle County and Kalamazoo County.
