Oklahoma City's media market anchors a reliably red state, but rapid suburban expansion in the metro's outer ring has gradually shifted the composition of competitive county-level races over the past decade.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 46.3 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 50.9 points in 1972. Between 2020 and 2024 the market moved 0.9 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 27.6 points.
A population of 2,001,627, a 63% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $68,852 describe the market. The market's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Tulsa and Fort Smith-Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers.

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.
