Berkeley County's population has roughly doubled since 2000, driven by spillover growth from the Charleston metro and the economic gravity of Joint Base Charleston — a combination that has kept its presidential margins consistently Republican despite rapid demographic change.

The shift began with civil rights. 1980 marked the realignment in Berkeley County, by a thirteen points margin. The Republican margin reached its widest at thirty-nine points in 1984. The 2024 margin was sixteen points.

The political shift has tracked, in Berkeley County, the political shift of the South more broadly. A 62% non-Hispanic-white share, a median household income of $84,358, and a 10% poverty rate describe the demographic context. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Escambia County and Greene County.
