Bradford County's R+47.9 margin in 2024 places it among the most lopsided presidential counties in Pennsylvania, anchored by a rural, largely non-Hispanic white population spread across small agricultural and timber-economy townships.
The Democratic margin in Bradford County peaked at eight points in 1912. By 1968 the county had flipped, voting Republican for the first time in many years. The 2024 margin was forty-eight points, the most Republican-leaning result in the county's modern history.
The economic context is the key. Bradford County's median household income of $63,675 sits well below state and national norms, and 13% 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 Missaukee County and Madison County.
