Marlboro County's electorate reflects the demographic tension common to majority-Black rural counties in the Pee Dee region, where Democratic margins have compressed steadily over successive presidential cycles despite a Black share of the population near 50%.
The Democratic margin in Marlboro County reached its widest at 100 points in 1912. The margin in 2024 was two points — still decisive.
Marlboro County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $34,301, a 39% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 25,975 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 Hampton County and Surry County.
