Despite its small-town and agricultural character, Addison County has delivered lopsided Democratic presidential margins for over a decade, bucking the national pattern of rural drift toward Republicans.

The Democratic margin in Addison County reached its widest at thirty-nine points in 2020. The margin in 2024 was thirty-four points — still decisive.

Addison County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $89,639, a 90% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 37,664 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 Windsor County and Washington County.
