Hispanic/Latino is an ethnicity that overlaps the race categories, so group shares can total more than 100%. All subgroup rows are shares of total population; ancestry is self-reported and multiple-response, so rows do not sum to the parent group's share.

Sullivan County's county seat anchors a small metro long shaped by its Borscht Belt past; recent decades have brought Hasidic Jewish community growth that has measurably shifted local electoral coalitions and school-board politics.

Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 35.2 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 35.4 points in 1920. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 7.5 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 16.6 points.

A population of 79,721, a 70% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $72,382 describe the metro.
