Sullivan County's county seat anchors a small metro long shaped by its Borscht Belt past; recent decades have brought Hasidic Jewish community growth that has measurably shifted local electoral coalitions and school-board politics.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 35.2 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 35.4 points in 1920. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 7.5 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 16.6 points.
A population of 79,721, a 66% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $72,382 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of East Stroudsburg, PA and Vineland, NJ.
