Greene County sits at the eastern edge of the Shenandoah Valley's Blue Ridge foothills, with a population under 16,000 that skews rural and owner-occupied. Its R+24.7 margin in 2024 reflects a decade-long rightward shift in small exurban Virginia counties.

The Republican margin in Greene County reached its widest at fifty-eight points in 1972. The margin in 2024 was twenty-five points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.

Greene County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $89,808, a 79% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 21,155 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 Frederick County and Butler County.
