The Philadelphia media market delivers the state's largest Democratic vote shares, but raw turnout variation within the city itself can swing a Pennsylvania statewide contest by tens of thousands of votes in either direction.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 33.0 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 51.6 points in 1924. Between 2020 and 2024 the market moved 4.6 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 20.1 points.
A population of 8,395,425, a 58% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $91,330 describe the market. The market's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Chicago and New York.

Political twins — media markets
The media markets whose fingerprint — 2000–2024 trajectory, demographics, ancestry, religion — sits closest to this one, and why.
Twin score (0–100) = weighted cosine between tier-standardized fingerprints: presidential margins 2000–2024 with 12-yr trend and elasticity, ACS income, age, education, population and race, top reported ancestries, and religious adherence — chips name the closest-shared dimensions and the widest gap.
