Cameron Parish, a sparsely populated stretch of Louisiana Gulf Coast, recorded an R+86.3 margin in 2024 — among the widest presidential gaps nationally — reflecting a rural, energy-sector workforce that has shifted decisively over recent cycles.

The unraveling was not abrupt. The Democratic margin in Cameron Parish peaked at ninety-eight points in 1932; it narrowed steadily over the late twentieth century. The 2000 election delivered the county to the Republican party for the first time in many years, by a margin of twenty-eight points. By 2024, the margin had widened further.

The economic and demographic context is severe. Cameron Parish's median household income of $75,278 is among the lowest of any county in the United States; 7% of residents live below the federal poverty line. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Acadia Parish and Sabine County.
