The San Angelo media market covers a vast stretch of the Edwards Plateau and Permian Basin fringe, where sparse population and an economy rooted in ranching, oil, and military presence at Goodfellow AFB produce some of Texas's most reliably lopsided congressional margins.
The unraveling was not abrupt. The Democratic margin in San Angelo peaked at seventy-nine points in 1916; it narrowed steadily over the late twentieth century. The 1968 election delivered the market to the Republican party for the first time in many years, by a margin of eight points. By 2024, the margin had widened further.
The economic and demographic context is severe. The median household income of $67,619 is among the lowest at this geographic scale; 11% of residents live below the federal poverty line.
