Wood County, anchored by Marshfield and Wisconsin Rapids, has shifted more than 20 points toward Republicans over the past two decades as its manufacturing and timber-dependent workforce realigned with the national rural trend.

The county's recent history is a story of close margins. The Democratic margin reached thirty-eight points in 1932; the Republican margin reached sixty points in 1920. Most other elections have been decided by single-digit points.

Wood County's demographics — a population of 74,004, a 91% non-Hispanic-white share, a median household income of $67,989 — situate the county close to national averages on several dimensions. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Oneida County and Marathon County.
