Georgia by county: Census 2020–2024

Every adult in Georgia, as the Census counts them, county by county. Each person is a real combination of traits from the Census's anonymised person records, weighted so every county matches its published tables, with party lean and 2024 turnout modelled and labelled so.

How close the people land on the Census

Each county's records are weighted until they match its American Community Survey tables. The figure is the worst county's largest gap on each table, in percentage points.

Table	Worst county
Sex by age	0.5
Race and ethnicity	0.5
Education	0.5
Household income	0.5
Work	0.3
Owned or rented home	0.2
Citizenship	0.0

A check left out of the fit: veterans

Veteran status was not used in weighting, so it shows how well the weighted people carry traits nobody fitted. Per county, the share of veterans among civilian adults lands a median 0.7 points from the Census's own figure; 95% of counties within 3.2, the worst 8.6. The worst are military counties (Chattahoochee, Lanier, Camden), whose many veterans are spread across the larger Census areas they share with their neighbours.

What drawing a population adds

A population is a sample of these weighted people, so small counties vary from draw to draw. Largest gap per county between the people drawn and the county's records, counties with at least 30 people.

Trait	10,000 people		100,000 people
	Median	95% of counties within	Median	95% of counties within

Household income	1.5	5.1	0.6	2.5

Party lean and 2024 turnout (modelled)

No Census record says how anyone votes, so these two traits are modelled. Each person starts from what Cooperative Election Study 2024 respondents like them (race, age, education and sex, in the South) said and did, with turnout checked against the voter file. Each county is then calibrated so its people's turnout and Democratic-minus-Republican margin match its certified 2024 presidential result.

Check	Margin	Turnout
Each county against its 2024 result (calibrated)	median 0.0, worst 0.0	median 0.0, worst 0.0
Demographics alone, given only the statewide result	median 27.4, worst 62.4	median 4.7, worst 23.5
The same, with priors that never saw a Georgian	median 28.2, worst 63.0	median 4.7, worst 23.6

Leans against Georgia's own survey respondents

Nothing was fitted to these: the share of each lean among Georgia's adults, as modelled and as the CES's Georgia respondents gave it.

	Democratic	Republican	Neither	Turnout
Model	43%	40%	18%
CES Georgia (n=2,039)	40%	42%	18%
Priors that never saw a Georgian, applied to Georgia's 2,014 citizen respondents	41%	40%	19%	51%
CES Georgia, citizens (n=2,014)	40%	43%	17%	51%

The county totals are right by construction: that is what calibration does. The honest test is the people alone, and they place Georgia's counties badly. Rural white Georgians vote far more Republican than white Southerners on average, so demographics alone pull every county toward an even split.

Within a county, calibration moves everyone's lean by the same factor, so lean by race inside one county is the weakest part. Statewide, the model has Democratic leaners a few points ahead where Georgia's survey respondents have Republicans ahead, because non-voters keep the leans their demographics suggest.

Use these traits to include or compare groups. They are not anyone's stated party, and results are never polls of real people.
