Kiowa County sits on the shortgrass plains of southeastern Colorado, where cattle ranching defines the economy and a sparse, rural electorate has produced some of the state's widest presidential margins for decades.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 24.5 points in 1912 and a Republican high of 77.2 points in 2020. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 2.8 points toward the Democratic candidate; the 2024 margin was 74.4 points.
A population of 1,376, a 83% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $58,618 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Throckmorton County and Mills County.
