The Reno designated market area anchors northern Nevada and has trended more competitive as in-migration from California and other states has diversified its historically Republican-leaning electorate over the past decade.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 44.3 points in 1896 and a Republican high of 40.3 points in 1980. Between 2020 and 2024 the market moved 3.1 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 11.7 points.
A population of 777,068, a 62% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $85,074 describe the market. The market's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Sacramento-Stockton-Modesto and Santa Barbara-Santa Maria-San Luis Obispo.

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.
