Titus County's economy has long centered on agriculture, lignite coal, and a steel mill that makes it an outlier in rural Texas manufacturing. That blue-collar industrial base coexists with presidential margins that have grown steadily more Republican over the past two decades.
Titus County has leaned Republican in recent presidential elections, reaching a Democratic margin of ninety-four points in 1932. Between 2020 and 2024 it moved ten points toward the Republican candidate — part of the sharpest rightward shift recorded among any group of places in the country.
Its demographics describe the shift: a 54% non-Hispanic-white share, a median household income of $58,425, and a population of 31,363. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Grimes County and Jones County.
