The Biloxi-Gulfport media market anchors Mississippi's coastal strip, where post-Katrina redevelopment and a gaming-driven service economy have drawn a more transient workforce than the state's interior, nudging its demographic profile gradually younger and more diverse.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 85.0 points in 1892 and a Republican high of 74.7 points in 1972. Between 2020 and 2024 the market moved 4.2 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 38.1 points.
A population of 400,204, a 65% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $62,028 describe the market. The market's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Panama City and Tyler-Longview (Lufkin & Nacogdoches).

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.
