Worth County's roughly 8,000 residents are concentrated in small agricultural towns, and its R+28 presidential margin in 2024 reflects the broader rural realignment reshaping Iowa's once-competitive political map.

The county's recent history is a story of close margins. The Democratic margin reached twenty-five points in 1996; the Republican margin reached seventy-two points in 1920. Most other elections have been decided by single-digit points.

Worth County's demographics — a population of 7,350, a 95% non-Hispanic-white share, a median household income of $78,008 — 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 Jackson County and Buchanan County.
