Virginia's 10th stretches from the D.C. suburbs through the Shenandoah foothills, drawing a workforce heavily tied to government contracting and federal agencies — a demographic pattern that has pushed its presidential margins steadily toward double digits.

Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 18.7 points in 2020 and a Republican high of 0.9 points in 2012. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 10.4 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 8.3 points.

A population of 784,266, a 55% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $162,359 describe the district.
