The Republican margin in Linn County reached its widest at thirty-seven points in 1928. The margin in 2024 was twenty-four points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.

Median household income of $76,329, a 84% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 130,706 together describe a community whose political habits are deeply settled.
