Home to four major military installations and a population that is roughly 55% Hispanic, the San Antonio–New Braunfels metro has trended more competitive at the presidential level even as Bexar County's suburban fringe absorbs rapid in-migration from across Texas.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 67.7 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 23.7 points in 1972. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 8.6 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 5.3 points.
A population of 2,662,733, a 32% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $77,094 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, CA and Fresno, CA.
