Allamakee County sits at Iowa's scenic northeast tip along the Mississippi River, and its presidential margins have widened steadily over the past decade — the 2024 gap of R+34 reflects a rural realignment that has reshaped most of the Driftless region.

The Republican margin in Allamakee County reached its widest at forty-seven points in 1920. The margin in 2024 was thirty-four points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.

Allamakee County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $70,694, a 88% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 14,092 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 Marinette County and Menominee County.
