New Jersey's most populous county shifted from a double-digit Republican margin in 2012 to D+3.4 in 2024, driven by demographic change among its large Korean-American and South Asian communities in the inner suburbs.
The Democratic margin in Bergen County reached its widest at twenty points in 1912. The margin in 2024 was three points — still decisive.
Bergen County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $124,884, a 55% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 962,316 together describe a community whose political habits are deeply settled.
