The district's character is very different from the rest of New York City. It is the only district in the city that leans toward the Republican Party in national elections; indeed, it is the only district of the 12 based in the city with a Cook Partisan Voting Index less than D+20. With a PVI of R+10, it is one of the most Republican urban districts in the country. It was the only New York City-based district carried by Donald Trump in 2020, who won it with 55 percent of the vote to Democratic opponent Joe Biden's 44 percent.
According to the APM Research Lab's Voter Profile Tools (featuring the U.S. Census Bureau's 2019 American Community Survey), the district contained about 499,000 potential voters (citizens, age 18+). Of these, 64% are White, 15% Latino, 12% Black, and 8% Asian. Immigrants make up 29% of the district's potential voters. The district has significant Italian-American, Jewish, Irish-American, and Russian-American populations. Median income among households (with one or more potential voter) in the district is about $85,200. As for the educational attainment of potential voters in the district, 10% of those 25 and older have not earned a high school degree, while 38% hold a bachelor's or higher degree.

In October 2025, four Staten Island residents filed a lawsuit citing that the district lines prevent voters of color (people of indigenous and/or Black African and/or Spanish-speaking ancestry) who are registered Democrats and vote Democrat living along the border of the district in Brooklyn and people living on Staten Island from electing Democrats or a candidate of color within NY-11.[6]

In New York State there are numerous minor parties at various points on the political spectrum. Certain parties will invariably endorse either the Republican or Democratic candidate for every office, hence the state electoral results contain both the party votes, and the final candidate votes (Listed as "Recap").
