Spanning Michigan's eastern Upper Peninsula along the Canadian border, Chippewa County delivers lopsided margins in federal races while hosting the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, one of the region's largest employers and civic forces.
The Republican margin in Chippewa County reached its widest at seventy points in 1924. The margin in 2024 was twenty-four points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.
Chippewa County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $62,217, a 68% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 36,295 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 Chautauqua County and Cheboygan County.
