The Duluth-Superior market straddles two states and blends historic union-labor Democratic strength in Minnesota's Iron Range with more volatile suburban and Wisconsin exurban precincts that have trended competitive in recent cycles.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 49.4 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 61.4 points in 1904. Between 2020 and 2024 the market moved 2.9 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 3.5 points.
A population of 426,152, a 88% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $70,055 describe the market. The market's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of La Crosse-Eau Claire and Cedar Rapids-Waterloo-Iowa City & Dubuque.

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.
