Huntingdon's rugged Ridge-and-Valley terrain anchors a sparse, predominantly white working-class population that has shifted decisively rightward over the past two decades, delivering some of the widest presidential margins in the state.
The Democratic margin in Huntingdon County peaked at ten points in 1912. By 1968 the county had flipped, voting Republican for the first time in many years. The 2024 margin was fifty-three points, the most Republican-leaning result in the county's modern history.
The economic context is the key. Huntingdon County's median household income of $65,557 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 Patrick County and Franklin County.
