Cheyenne County sits in the far northwest corner of Kansas, where a sparse, agriculture-driven population consistently produces some of the state's widest Republican presidential margins — hitting R+68.8 in 2024 with barely 3,000 residents.
The Republican margin in Cheyenne County reached its widest at seventy-one points in 2016. The margin in 2024 was sixty-nine points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.
Cheyenne County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $55,429, a 88% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 2,628 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 Chase County and Hodgeman County.
