Noble County's rural, sparsely populated hill-country landscape anchors one of the most lopsided presidential results in the state, with the 2024 margin reaching R+64.6 — well above most of Ohio's already red-leaning rural counties.
The Democratic margin in Noble County peaked at thirteen points in 1964. By 2000 the county had flipped, voting Republican for the first time in many years. The 2024 margin was sixty-four points, the most Republican-leaning result in the county's modern history.
The economic context is the key. Noble County's median household income of $56,098 sits well below state and national norms, and 11% of residents live below the federal poverty line. The shift here is part of a broader realignment of working-class places across the country. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Jackson County and Meigs County.
