Texarkana straddles the Texas-Arkansas border so precisely that its federal building sits in both states simultaneously — a quirk that makes it one of the few metros where voters in the same neighborhood file under two different state electoral systems.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 82.5 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 49.8 points in 2024. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 5.6 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 49.8 points.
A population of 146,296, a 63% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $56,106 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Corinth, MS and Gadsden, AL.

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.
