Tucker County's rugged Allegheny highlands and shrinking population mirror a broader Appalachian shift: its 2024 presidential margin of R+48.9 reflects decades of realignment in coal-country communities with fewer than 7,500 residents.
The Republican margin in Tucker County reached its widest at fifty-two points in 2016. The margin in 2024 was forty-nine points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.
Tucker County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $53,358, a 97% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 6,654 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 Trinity County and Graves County.
