Hodgeman County sits in the shortgrass plains of southwest Kansas, where a sparse ranching and wheat-farming population has produced some of the most lopsided presidential margins in the state for well over a decade.

The Democratic margin in Hodgeman County peaked at twenty-one points in 1912. By 1980 the county had flipped, voting Republican for the first time in many years. The 2024 margin was seventy points, the most Republican-leaning result in the county's modern history.

The economic context is the key. Hodgeman County's median household income of $59,955 sits well below state and national norms, and 6% of residents live below the federal poverty line. The shift here is part of a broader realignment of working-class places across the country. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Thomas County and Gray County.
