Marion anchors a small industrial metro in central Ohio, and its 2024 presidential margin of D+15.3 stands well to the left of the statewide result — a gap driven partly by the city's dense, blue-collar urban core.

Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 17.8 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 41.6 points in 1928. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 2.5 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 41.2 points.

A population of 65,020, a 87% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $59,371 describe the metro.
