Royse City has roughly tripled in population since 2010 as DFW sprawl pushes east along US-380, making it a textbook case of how rapid exurban growth can scramble previously stable voting patterns in a single decade.
Across the recorded series it reached a Republican high of 51.5 points in 2012. Between 2020 and 2024 the city moved 3.5 points toward the Democratic candidate; the 2024 margin was 42.1 points.
A population of 20,037, a 63% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $116,660 describe the city. The city's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Fate and Lake Jackson.
