Marion anchors a small industrial metro in central Ohio, and its 2024 presidential margin of D+15.3 stands well to the left of the statewide result — a gap driven partly by the city's dense, blue-collar urban core.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 17.8 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 41.6 points in 1928. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 2.7 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 41.4 points.
A population of 65,020, a 86% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $59,371 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Zanesville, OH and Cambridge, OH.

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.
