Boone County's 2024 presidential margin of R+66 points reflects a broader consolidation of rural Nebraska toward one party over the past decade, with a shrinking and aging agricultural population amplifying that shift.

The Republican margin in Boone County reached its widest at sixty-seven points in 2020. The margin in 2024 was sixty-six points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.

Boone County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $74,947, a 94% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 5,356 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 Pierce County and Kimball County.
