Binghamton's Broome County has trended Republican in recent cycles even as SUNY Binghamton's student population injects a younger, more transient voting bloc — a tension that keeps margins closer than the region's economic decline might predict.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 27.8 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 49.9 points in 1956. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 2.9 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 4.5 points.
A population of 245,242, a 82% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $64,592 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Syracuse, NY and Albany-Schenectady-Troy, NY.

The metros whose fingerprint — 2000–2024 trajectory, demographics, ancestry, religion — sits closest to this one, and why.
Twin score (0–100) = weighted cosine between tier-standardized fingerprints: presidential margins 2000–2024 with 12-yr trend and elasticity, ACS income, age, education, population and race, top reported ancestries, and religious adherence — chips name the closest-shared dimensions and the widest gap.
