Pflugerville has shifted from reliably Republican to a closely contested suburb as tech-sector migration and diversifying demographics—roughly 30% Hispanic, 20% Black residents—have compressed the margins in Travis County's northeastern edge.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 32.3 points in 2020 and a Republican high of 10.7 points in 2004. Between 2020 and 2024 the city moved 4.4 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 28.0 points.
A population of 65,971, a 38% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $117,799 describe the city. The city's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Hillsboro and Aloha.
