The Corpus Christi media market spans the Coastal Bend, where a Hispanic-majority population and energy-sector employment combine to produce competitive down-ballot races even in cycles when top-of-ticket results lean predictably one direction.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 74.6 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 20.2 points in 2024. Between 2020 and 2024 the market moved 8.6 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 20.2 points.
A population of 588,408, a 31% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $64,576 describe the market. The market's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Yuma-El Centro and El Paso (Las Cruces).

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. Re-weight the groups in the twins explorer.
