Source · American Community Survey 5-year estimates, 2024 release. Race shares: B02001 · B03003. Subgroup detail: B03001 (Hispanic or Latino specific origin), B02015 (Asian groups), B02020 · B02016 (American Indian/Alaska Native tribes and Pacific Islander groups), B04006 (reported ancestry). 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.

Once a Manufacturing stronghold, the Utica-Rome metro has shifted markedly toward Republican margins in federal races over the past decade, driven by demographic change and deindustrialization in Oneida County's mid-sized cities.

Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 30.4 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 40.4 points in 1956. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 5.5 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 24.5 points.

A population of 288,881, a 83% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $69,815 describe the metro.
