With roughly 7,000 residents spread across the Powder River basin and Big Horn foothills, Johnson County delivers lopsided Republican margins that rank among the widest in a state already dominated by that party's voters.

The Republican margin in Johnson County reached its widest at sixty-seven points in 1972. The margin in 2024 was sixty-three points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.

Johnson County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $64,871, a 92% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 8,686 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 Park County and Bandera County.
