Texas' 24th congressional district of the United States House of Representatives covers much of the suburban area in between Fort Worth and Dallas in the state of Texas.

It was one of nine districts that voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election while being held or won by a Republican.

Median income among households (with one or more potential voter) in the district is about $81,900, and 46% hold a bachelor's or higher degree.[4]
