Jackson anchors Madison County, a reliably Republican-leaning metro whose growth is tied to regional medical and logistics industries rather than the university-driven demographics that shift similar-sized cities elsewhere.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 61.9 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 47.5 points in 1972. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 5.6 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 35.8 points.
A population of 181,719, a 64% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $60,896 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Magnolia, AR and Camden, AR.

Political twins — metros
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. Re-weight the groups in the twins explorer.
