[constituency_baseline] District summary: Ohio's 13th Congressional District encompasses all of Summit County (including Akron) and northwestern Stark County (including Canton), with a population of approximately 783,000. The district is 76.3% White, 12.3% Black, and 3% Hispanic, with a median household income of $70,696 and a poverty rate of 8.9%. It sits at the convergence of blue-collar manufacturing and healthcare economies, anchored by Summa Health (Summit County's largest employer), Cleveland Clinic Akron General, and Goodyear Tire & Rubber. The district is among the most competitive in the nation, with Kamala Harris carrying it by less than a tenth of a percentage point in 2024. Only 34.1% of adults hold a bachelor's degree. Homeownership is 67.6% with median property values at $206,300. The district shifted right in 2024, and Republicans have targeted it heavily for 2026 redistricting.
