Broome County, anchored by Binghamton, has shifted sharply from its mid-century Democratic base as deindustrialization reshaped its electorate — the 2024 presidential margin of D+0.4 reflects a county genuinely in play.

The county's recent history is a story of close margins. The Democratic margin reached thirty points in 1964; the Republican margin reached forty-nine points in 1956. Most other elections have been decided by single-digit points.

Broome County's demographics — a population of 197,378, a 80% non-Hispanic-white share, a median household income of $62,616 — situate the county close to national averages on several dimensions. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Kent County and Russell County.
