Across the recorded series it reached a Republican high of 58.0 points in 2012. Between 2020 and 2024 the city moved 1.3 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 52.4 points.
A population of 33,883, a 71% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $97,301 describe the city. The city's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Alpine and Prescott Valley.
