Taylor County's R+48.1 margin in 2024 places it among Wisconsin's most Republican-leaning counties, reflecting the broader rural realignment that has reshaped small-population, timber-and-agriculture communities across the Upper Midwest over the past decade.
The Republican margin in Taylor County reached its widest at sixty-five points in 1920. The margin in 2024 was forty-eight points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.
Taylor County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $69,350, a 94% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 20,024 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 Cottonwood County and Lyon County.
