Morgan County, directly south of Indianapolis, has shifted steadily toward lopsided Republican margins over the past two decades, with its 2024 presidential result of R+54.3 placing it among the state's most one-sided exurban counties.

The Republican margin in Morgan County reached its widest at fifty-six points in 2016. The margin in 2024 was fifty-four points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.

Morgan County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $79,429, a 94% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 72,659 together describe a community whose political habits are deeply settled.
