Once a Manufacturing stronghold, the Utica-Rome metro has shifted markedly toward Republican margins in federal races over the past decade, driven by demographic change and deindustrialization in Oneida County's mid-sized cities.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 30.4 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 40.4 points in 1956. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 5.7 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 24.6 points.
A population of 288,881, a 81% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $69,815 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA and Auburn, NY.

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.
