Las Animas stretches across the Purgatoire River valley in southeastern Colorado, where a majority-Hispanic population has shifted steadily rightward over the past decade, narrowing what was once a reliably Democratic margin into Republican territory.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 65.6 points in 1896 and a Republican high of 41.3 points in 1892. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 3.6 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 13.5 points.
A population of 14,413, a 54% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $52,074 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Colfax County and Huerfano County.
