Dade County's R+67.1 margin in 2024 places it among the most heavily Republican rural counties in Missouri, a pattern consistent with decades of demographic shift away from the old Ozarks Democratic tradition.

The Republican margin in Dade County reached its widest at sixty-seven points in 2024. The margin in 2024 was sixty-seven points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.

Dade County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $53,750, a 93% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 7,641 together describe a community whose political habits are deeply settled.
