St. Louis City, independent of any county since 1876, delivered a 64-point Democratic presidential margin in 2024 — among the widest in Missouri — anchored by a dense, majority-minority population concentrated in a compact 66 square miles.
Its margins are typically close. The Democratic margin reached 68.2 points in 2008; the Republican margin reached 20.2 points in 1920. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 1.7 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 64.2 points.
Its demographics sit near national norms: a 46% non-Hispanic-white share, a median household income of $56,160, and a 21% poverty rate. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Baltimore city and District of Columbia.
