York County, anchored by communities like Biddeford and Kittery along the New Hampshire border, has trended reliably Democratic in recent cycles, posting a 10.5-point margin in 2024 while absorbing an influx of out-of-state transplants that continues to reshape its electorate.

The Democratic margin in York County reached its widest at forty-four points in 1964. The margin in 2024 was ten points — still decisive.

York County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $88,333, a 91% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 216,731 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 Merrimack County and Sagadahoc County.
