Homes and turnout
Whether a voter owns or rents is one of the steadier signals behind turnout, and it is not on the voter file. These figures come from Wake County parcel records matched to the file, so a share of voters here has no match at all and is counted separately.
Shares are of all 133,739 registered voters here, the not matched group included.
voters here, 13.2% of the district, live at an address recorded as an apartment or other multi-family building.
Apartment status is a separate record from ownership, so these voters also appear in the tenure split.
Countywide, owner-occupied households turned out 16.6 points higher than rentals in 2024.
That is a Wake County figure, not this district’s. We do not publish a turnout gap for individual districts.
Not matched is a real category, not a rounding error: 15,331 voters here, 11.5% of the district, have no usable parcel match and are shown as unknown. Those voters stay in the totals above and are never reassigned to owner or renter. Source: Wake County parcel records matched to the NCSBE voter file.
Shares are of all 133,739 registered voters here. Each voter is grouped by the way they have most often cast a ballot in past elections. This describes what already happened; it is not a prediction of how anyone will vote next time. No recent vote history means no ballot is recorded for that voter in the elections covered here. Those voters are registered and eligible to vote. Shares may not add to 100 after rounding. Source: NCSBE
