Washington County's population has more than doubled since 2000, driven by retirees and families relocating from California and the Mountain West. That growth has done little to shift its deep-red presidential margins, which have held above R+50 for over a decade.

The Republican margin in Washington County reached its widest at seventy-three points in 1984. The margin in 2024 was fifty-two points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.

Washington County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $80,632, a 85% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 196,431 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 Iron County and Bonneville County.
