Hampton County's small-town, majority-Black electorate has kept it in the Democratic column even as rural South Carolina has shifted sharply rightward, making its D+6.4 margin in 2024 a notable holdout in a sea of red.
The Democratic margin in Hampton County reached its widest at 100 points in 1904. The margin in 2024 was six points — still decisive.
Hampton County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $44,711, a 41% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 18,254 together describe a community whose political habits are deeply settled. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Phillips County and Marlboro County.
