If you’re expecting Massachusetts to vote for Hillary Clinton in November, then you can expect the same of Natick.

In every presidential election since 1972, Natick residents have voted the same way the state has overall. With the exception of Ronald Reagan’s wins in 1980 and 1984, Natick and Massachusetts as a whole have voted for Democrats.

While few expect much of a change in Natick’s political leanings this year, some residents observed that the town itself is evolving.

“It’s not going to be small- town Natick anymore,’’ said Diane Mabardy, 67, a lifelong Natick resident.

Mabardy’s memories of her childhood are of streets lined with family-owned farms. Her family owned one for five generations until 2008.

“Natick used to be farm country. There were four or five farms on my street,’’ Mabardy said. “Now when I look around, it’s totally different.’’

Standing in the town’s center, there is no denying that. The storefronts are starting to fill with boutiques, cafes, and trendy fitness centers.

Another big change is the growth in new housing developments.

“There have been a lot of new apartments and condos,’’ said Gene Madden, who works at the Christian Science Reading Room in the town center. “They seem to be bringing a lot more young, single people.’’

But an influx of families, younger people, and commuters appears to be changing the economic makeup of the town, which had a median household income of nearly $99,000, according to 2014 census data. The average single-family home is valued at about $506,000.

Of the town’s approximately 34,000 residents, about 84 percent are white, 9 percent are Asian, and less than 2 percent are black. About 3 percent are Hispanic or Latino.

As of September, registered Democrats far outnumbered Republicans, 7,610 to 2,558, though the majority of Natick’s voters — 12,586 — were unenrolled.

“Some Republicans here don’t want to tell people that they’re Republicans,’’ said Diana Bolick, a member of Natick’s Republican Town Committee.

However, she’s sensing change this year. Donald Trump was the top vote-getter in Natick in the Republican primary, with 1,392 ballots, though Clinton far exceeded that with 4,609 on the Democratic side.

“Trump has energized people who have never voted before,’’ said Bolick, who expects voter turnout to be high.

“I’ve never seen anything like this before. Every day there’s new information that’s coming out for both parties,’’ said Bolick, of recent leaks. “What we have to look at today are the issues. Everything else is just noise.’’

Despite the drama, political signs are curiously missing from Natick’s lawns this election season.

“This year’s not about who you’re voting for,’’ said Richard Karlen, a Natick resident for the last 14 years, “but who you’re voting against.’’
