Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 93.4 points in 1936 and a Republican high of 41.8 points in 1972. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 3.5 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 6.0 points.
A population of 177,193, a 52% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $58,188 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Milledgeville, GA and Columbus, GA-AL.
