Alaska at state level since 2016 as the closest defensible read, with explicit framing of what Atlas cannot show at the HD-04 grain.

From cache

Alaska voted R+13.1 in 2024, a 3.0-point rightward move from R+10.1 in 2020 that landed close to the R+14.8 baseline of 2016. The 2020 cycle was the inflection — a 4.7-point Democratic shift that has since unwound by most of its margin. The structural context: a 736K-person electorate that is 52.3% non-Hispanic white with a $93,813 median household income, a composition that has held the state in a 4.7-point Republican band across three cycles.

Over time

Cycle-by-cycle arc

Atlas doesn't carry results at the HD-04 grain, so the closest defensible read is Alaska statewide, which ran R+13.1 in 2024 after R+10.1 in 2020 and R+14.8 in 2016. The inflection was 2020, when the margin moved 4.7 points left in a single cycle. That swing partially reversed in 2024, with a 3.0-point rightward move from 2020 to 2024. Net across the eight-year span, Alaska sits 1.7 points left of its 2016 mark. Any HD-04-specific trajectory inside that envelope is not visible at this grain.

Shifted 1.7 pts right across 8 years.

Median household income runs $93,813 and 31.5% of adults hold a bachelor's degree, with 7.7% foreign-born and 10.1% in poverty.
