The Washington, DC (Hagrstwn) media market has a presidential record spanning 1892 through 2024. Across that period its aggregated margin moved through a wide range, from D+95 in 1904 to R+24 in 1928. Those two endpoints mark the strongest Democratic showing and the strongest Republican showing within the available record.
The area's aggregated margin was D+32 in 2024, on the Democratic side of its historical range relative to the R+24 recorded in 1928. The 2024 figure represents the aggregated total across the market's constituent counties rather than the result of any single community. It stands below the D+95 of 1904.
The market comprises 40 constituent counties, anchored by Frederick County, Loudoun County, and Stafford County as its largest. Its combined population was 7,226,288 in the 2024 ACS five-year estimate. The median age across the area was 38.6 in the same estimate. These figures describe an aggregated geography defined by media-market boundaries rather than a single jurisdiction, and the presidential margins reported here are summed across all 40 of its constituent counties.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 95.1 points in 1904 and a Republican high of 23.5 points in 1928. Between 2020 and 2024 the market moved 6.8 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 32.1 points.
A population of 7,226,288, a 46% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $124,776 describe the market. The market's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Baltimore and San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose.
