Savannah's metropolitan area has shifted measurably as in-migration tied to port expansion and tourism drives demographic change, compressing the double-digit margins that once defined Chatham County's predictable election-night patterns.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 79.5 points in 1912 and a Republican high of 44.6 points in 1972. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 1.7 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 0.7 points.
A population of 418,285, a 53% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $77,692 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Columbia, SC and Charleston-North Charleston, SC.
