Third column names the leading third-party or independent finisher. Source · MIT Election Lab · ICPSR · VEST (precinct-level 2024). Swing · margin change from the prior cycle. vs U.S. · margin relative to the national result that year. Third-party votes in 2012 are allocated from certified county totals by this place's share of each county's two-party vote — that cycle's precinct source records two-party splits. † 2004 sub-county results are estimated: the source's block-level detail for this cycle was unreliable — either county/municipality-level consolidated reporting (COVID-era) or a precinct-to-block allocation that misplaced votes — so the figures are allocated from the constituent county totals in proportion to the place and scaled to certified totals.

With a 2024 presidential margin of D+23.5, this district stands well outside Indiana's statewide competitive range, suggesting a dense urban core or heavily minority-majority population that anchors its lopsided Democratic tilt.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 25.4 points in 2020 and a Republican high of 11.1 points in 2004. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 1.8 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 23.5 points.
A population of 67,808, a 63% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $45,742 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of State House District 77 and State House District 61.
