Washoe County anchors the Reno metro and has trended Democratic in presidential races over the past two decades, driven by in-migration from California and a growing university-educated workforce that now rivals the region's older gaming-industry base.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 47.4 points in 1896 and a Republican high of 39.8 points in 1980. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 3.8 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 4.5 points.
A population of 563,020, a 60% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $87,337 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA and Oxnard-Thousand Oaks-Ventura, CA.

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.
